Is this a bad tiling job or am I too fussy?

I'm currently having my ensuite bathroom redone.

Tilers were in a day or two ago - I am unhappy with the work done. The problems I see are:

It looks untidy
The adhesive is visible behind the tiles
The adhesive appears to be too thick
The edging pieces not meet up at corners
The edges of edging pieces are sharp/rough
The tile at the right hand side of the counter is leaning forwards slightly - the adhesive is thicker at top than at bottom so it tilts (hard to get a good pic but I have used a spirit level on it to confirm)
There is a gap between the tiles/wall/my counter - has the counter been made too short? Is there a way to sort this (or should I be requesting a new counter?)

I realise these are a lot of complaints - hence asking for independent opinions.

Many thanks in advance for your help. I find it so difficult to raise issues so it would be very helpful to know whether I am in the right or wrong here.

If it is a bad job - what should/can I do about it?

Are you having to pay anymore op or will the plumber swallow the extra cost?

Dh says it's "shocking".
More importantly he says it's your house and you have to be happy with it.
Which is of course true.
