Sorry to resurrect an old post, but im sat here watching some tommy walsh crap and the things he are reccomend people do are ridiculous! "3-1 sand and cement mixed dry and swept in to joints" who does that?

The annoying thing is my grandad watches his programs on re-run religiously i often go down there and my grandad has plastered a wall tommy walsh style he has also pointed the patio walsh style and he cant understand why there is a mini jungle growing out of all the joints. So when i comment i get the reply "well tommy said......" I get customers saying that to.....dont insult me please lol.

He must of made a fortune out of the programs as well.

Beat me to it Hen!
They actualy sell that piece of shit in builders yards!
B&Q I understand, but dont insult local tradesmen putting that in a builders yard for god sake!

I dont understand why he builds a reputation on that garden makeover thing (you know, the one with the ginger bird with no bra)
then deteriorates onto naff cable channels to promoted poor building practises and endorse 'wheelie bin fillers' . He is a builder (after a fashion) so even he must know these are rank.
