People who want to stick 2 tiles back that fell off and want a tiny pot of
whatever costs the least...

Can't most of the better adhesives be used as grout? Although I prefer to
use a dedicated one.

Adhesives aren't usually pure white

No. the better adhesives are vile coloured and plasticky.

I have used grout'n'go but a good adhesive it ain't. The advantage is
that you can do a job very quickly in one shot. No need to grout later.

Errrm. No you can't. The adhesive dries via the air gap around the tile,
if you grout straight away it doesn't dry properly. Plus the pressure
required to get the grout into the gaps properly can move the tiles.

Just saves buying two pots of stuff.
