    Ye you can bend any LVT.

    We will be running courses on bending boarders etc in the near future. Will be cheaper than Karndean and you will be messing with different LVT products not just one make!

    Of course you can :shock:

    What im thinking of for you lot on here is a 'mess' around day. Basically you turn up and try stuff. Im Talking stuff you lot think about but dont ever try out.

    how about i do you lot a swap. You lot get to play for the day trying out different stuff in a room settings and in exchange i show you how to bend borders etc in exchange for FREE floorcoverings for ME! Basically you lot bring your left over carpets, vinyls, gripper, underlay etc and i swap you this for free use of the training center ? What you think?

    What a great idea Matt I like that been thinking what to do with the left overs for along time, I was going to suggest we offer them upto our squadies that have been injured in the line of duty in these god forsaken places as well as our time for free as a charitable thing. The injured men and women of our armed forces never get a good deal and are the unsung heros of our great nation.

    Me to Steve it really does pain me to see our young men and women coming home with serious injuries, war has got so messy now when my grandfathers and their brothers fought the germans and japs it use to be more civilised they'd shoot at us we'd shoot at them they'd drop some bombs we'd drop some bombs and atleast then you could see your enemy coming. Now their cowards they hide in amoungst the public set IED's strap themselves up with explosives drive cars full of explosives into our check points. Even the IRA as bad as they were atleast they would send a coded message to give the authorities some time to clear the area of inocent civilians.
