As these tiles are
marble they are very heavy and obviously expensive. Anyway I was
assured that the walls didn't need priming prior to tiling and that
normal adhesive would be sufficient providing a waterproof grout was
used (I opted for Cerafix adhesive from B&Q).

I suppose you can guess what happened next, the tiler finished tiling
but complained that the adhesive wasn't drying quick enough in order
to grout so suggested I put a heater in there.

The adhesive I was supplied with for marble tiles was a form of mortar and
sets via a chemical action rather than air drying - and pretty quickly.
IMHO, 'normal' tile adhesive is for lightweight 'normal' tiles
