Tell me harder backer way forward now .you know sand and cement is best just can't be costed for now

Thing is that materials used have to get lighter as new kit houses would never take weight of old ways

Exactly my point on here always .we don't do best methods just a cost saving alternative that most bought into

Before tub adhesive even came out we were using powder adhesive called BAL ctf

I remember our first telephone line. A shared line so sometimes you picked up the phone only to hear someone already on it and my mum having to book the call to her sister in Australia and waiting to be connected. Our first colour television was a revelation and waiting for the programs to start in the evening as there wasn't 24/7 broadcasting. Ahhh, the good old days.

So according to you the change in tiling practises drove the change in house building process rather than the change in house building process ie timber stud walls with sheet plasterboard etc driving the change in tiling practises .
