TTA complains to BBC about tiling 'piece of cake' comments from DIY SOS...

[Dave]

Nick Knowles, a presenter of the programme, said: “Tiling is a piece of cake. I can tile; any old fool can tile”.
The Tile Association (TTA) objected to the derogatory remarks about tiling and the program’s general lack of respect for skilled trades and the amount of time and effort it takes to become a skilled tradesman.


I like the program but i actually watched that show and i took his silly remark as offensive to the tiling trade.


So well done to the TTA for this complaint ..
