Complete novice (and simpleton) needs to drill into two kitchen wall tiles
to put up a magnetic knife rack. The tiles are ancient, and if i crack
them or drill out of level tiles could not be replaced with matching ones.

It's also right near the sink where 'she who must be obeyed' will see it
all day. If i mess up, i'm dead or worse.

I've seen a workman drill into kitchen tiles and initially his drill goes
'all over the place' until it 'bites'. He's probably had a lot of
experience at this, i'm guessing that for me it would bite in the wrong
place.

Grateful for any tips on the 'safest' way for me to drill the tiles.
Thanks.

It would be a nightmare even for a professional to drill two holes in
exactly the right relative positions.

Golly./ I must be a real pro then

Plastic plugs easily take up a mm or two. If you cant drill better than
that, get a man in.
