i have used all the potty wrappers i personally prefere the large buckingham one over the isc but the isc one is bigger so better for the rope care and strength and i prefere the english braid to double esterlon and yes i have got both the english braid is softer and nicer to handle

They then said ok we get someone out within 24hrs to look at it. They sent someone out last night who rang me to tell him which pole it was. I will ring tomorrow morning to see what the score is but if they mess around anymore I'm taking the tre down regardless, live tree or no live tree. this is the kind of attitude that will get you hurt is it really worth it the owner can not be expecting you to do this live and should not be pressuring you to do it Either walk away from the job or wait till its safe to do the work and if your that short of work that you need to do it for a few quid give me a ring ill lend you a tenner. if you did the work and had a accident and were still alive to tell the tale YE would take your arse through the courts as would HSE You will earn more in the rest of your life than the day it all goes bang
