Nice work LLL on the ramp, did you use a slab sucker to drop them in and did you tap them or just sat on top?
Nice job there Mr Pink that brick work is very technical and the job is very neat I would not have picked up on LLL's recommendations as he is the silver trowel! but that's why we post pics to learn and share knowledge.
In Regards to the usual "slips & darts" comments.
Why don't we just remove the bedding material prior to cutting in and use a strong dryish mortar mix which acts the same as the bedding material whilst consolidating but will go off and add support to the small piece thus keeping the aesthetics and reduce the fail rate! I still inboard cut BTW

I just think on a private job, inboard cutting doesnt look good, customers dont like it, and they arent bothered about the advantages of inboard cuts........they just want it looking right? Obviously try and avoid the really small bits by putting a half block further back or whatever.
Good idea hagg
I might use the word gimp in my next quotation "install new block paved path to side of property as discussed, incorporate a gimp within the paving to continue the block border around existing brick work" ha ha

Great load of different opinions there. I love this forum where else can you talk about cuts gimps and the like.
With regards to the bricks though I'm 100% sure they are not dapple lights as I have used them once on a porch LLL
"Pimp my patio" I think you could be on to something with this slogan lol
