| there are some fabulous outside tiles around at the moment, bit different from the norm. at my local builders i bought some with raised pattern and glittered, they are so lovely. done the patio with them, looks stunning, but short of one box of tiles. back to the builders, who speak no english, so rather than struggle, i went to get the one on the display stand where all these fancy tiles are. i got the one i wanted but it was quite heavy and i dropped it back in the display, this caused a vibration and knocked all the tiles forward, making it top heavy. you guessed it, the lot came down. . the noise of all those tiles crashing down sounded like a bomb had gone off and the aftermath looked like i bomb had gone off. the place was a real mess. i just stood there in disbelief. ALL the staff come running in, looked at me, saw i was actually injured from the flying tiles. sat me on a chair, gave me some water, i got up they sat me back down, would not let me go anywhere. they tendered my cuts. i apologised and said i would pay for the damage, would not hear of it. i tried twice more to pay, but no. they had no interest other than me. eventually they let me go. i dont think i can ever show my face in there ever again, i just wanted to die. but what lovely people. but i cannot go back, i cant believe what i did. |
