Given the number of moans about it on here and the fact he's on the third step, you're either way to demanding and want the perfect job, he is rubbish at following instruction from you/his boss or his boss isn't keeping a close enough eye. I can see his frustration if I'm being honest. In the fullness of time with weathering would it really have been that much of an issue given the amount of extra work involved.

I need to buy a birthday card in the next week or so. I often struggle with a message for the inside... I'm seriously thinking of just writing this

In the fullness of time - Yes - I am afraid so.
The issue with the step was first time - one of misalignment of the step - and that was very obvious and would mess up the paths tiling pattern according to his tiler colleague; and second time - an issue raised by the tiler himself as the step did not give him the room to lay the tiles properly on a bedding. As far as the rope edging. I specifically asked whether a coating they were to use when they were done would make the difference less obvious. I asked if it would be difficult for him to replace it with another piece more closely matched (his tiler mate had already asked him to reset one piece by the step). He looked at me and booted the edging and it broke, then walked off.
We are often a bit too inattentive to work being done for us or we let things go - we don;t like confrontation. This may just be a step; a path and some edging - but it is part of a 'front of house' project that is costing us a lot of money. It was irritating that the lad reacted the way he did. It was frankly an uncalled for reaction to a simple request and questions from the customer. That is my irritation - not that he has to redo it.
And since you did mention it. His tiler colleague arrived with him this morning to make sure there were no further misunderstandings or mistakes.

He can just follow the Scottish Government model and get everyone to stay at their local pub and just do a single drop, so much more lean

Well - maybe not - it depends who else the In-Laws want to be there with them for Christmas...and how many households are allowed to be together in a home at any one time...

No, definitely under current regulations, the in-laws just have me and my wife going down, 4 people, 2 households, perfectly compliant under the current regulations.

I was doing some work at Edinburgh Hospital and outside the maternity/fertility clinic was a pregnant woman, smoking, in a clearly defined no-smoking area.
Still I suppose having a fag is more important to her than either her unborn child or other people's health.

Just had a salesman in pricing us up to have our windows replaced. He’s doing really well. Not up selling too much. Good prices. Then out of nowhere he goes - “see they’ve got that Birmingham stabber. Illegal refugee.”
Misjudged your audience a tad, mate.

Being a female golfer at a male dominated club. I'm about done having the course churned up on a Tuesday for our competitions. Today was the final straw. Sand on every green. Black fertiliser on some greens - our balls were literally black having rolled through the 11th. To add insult to injury they couldn't even be bothered to change the pins from the men's medal at the weekend.
I'm pretty much done with this sport.

And so there was me hanging up my boots and sitting back to watch the fun from the side, and then all of a sudden and out of the blue all of the games were cancelled ?

Yeah, I like it laughing at all the silly hissy fits. Ah well, they'll just move elsewhere, doubt it will have the desired effect either.

Not good at all. But hopefully a better club rather than chucking golf altogether?
I hate that we're second class members at so many clubs.
Maybe. Seems to be the norm sadly. I've ranted to the captain although warned her that raising a complaint will meet with similar disdain and probably make things worse!

Totally irrelevant in my view, he should have got it right the first time he did it.

I have found the same with the gents mid week stableford / medal. Greens staff are out working, greens tined, dressed, etc. It in no way compares to a weekend comp.
