What kind of ceramic tile adhesive?

I want to fix ceramic tiles to kitchen worktops. The worktops aren't marble or granite or anything particularly fancy, just the normal laminated type. Can I use the normal type of adhesives that would be used in a bathroom or kitchen? anyoldnick (Tue 20:40 11/Jan/05)

brachiopod		(Tue 22:01 11/Jan/05) I tiled my worktop with standard waterproof tile adhesive. However, I fitted the worktop upside down, so the laminate was underneath. (I set out to tile it from the start, so bought a cheap worktop). If yours is an existing worktop, you might have a problem flipping it over due to where corners are cut etc. I don't know how well the adhesive would stick to the laminated side. (Not very well, I fear.)
