Hi, was just wondering if I could get someone to send me a bit of AP, only enough for a VT, will happily pay good dollar for it, or if you have some half used stuff you could do without.. I'd be well chuffed! Cheers, Matt.

Haha they are well good Mozza. Like that caterpillar one as well lol!

My college tutor has a very similiar pair! Still uses them , in fact i borrowed them for a few jobs:laugh1: They look like they belong in the archives mate, im sure some nice shiny geckos wont go a miss:)

Yer a bit too thinned, still looks nice a shaped though, bet the customer has happy:)

VT, sometimes knute, both very good I think:)

How come this hasnt been posted on =S ?? Great work buddy, looks like a nice challenge!

I think they look pretty neat when shaped/reduced all over, never noticed the top looking un-attractive. Not really sure how they respond to reduction cuts, I imagine they respond relatively well as the regrowth on lateral branches is fairly vigorous. hope this helps mate.

I believe Husqy sell one also.

The motion is the don in my eyes, but i did have a sequoia and loved it to bits. When i come to getting a new one it will be a tough decision. If your looking for light-weight/flexible go for the petzl, but if you want comfort/durability go for the motion.

Thank you all so much for your comments. It means alot. I just went up to the bank to get the receipt book and list of previous payments he told me to get as he barked down the phone to me yesterday. The bank told me theres no such thing as a receipt book, so the fool made me look stupid once again.. came home, told the old dot. she was well pissed off. She rang him up straight away, regardless of me telling her not to.. and she left a message, threatening to take police action, blah blah.. Its not what I wanted it to come to at all, but hopefully the threat will scare him off a bit, If not I have a solicitor ready to take legal action with the scum bag. Thanks again, really good advice from you all! Especially liked the claw hammer one lol! made me chuckle. all the best to you all. Matt

Now, I do not like to speak badly of anybody, let alone post anything negative on the internet. But I am genuinely worried. My previous boss (who shall not be named) took me on for basic work experience last September, this was great news for me as I really needed to clock up the hours in order to pass my course. After working with him for a few weeks he decided I was working hard enough (And owned PPE/Climbing kit) to earn a bit of cash, no major amounts as I was still down for voluntary work exp, not proper employment. Just enough to get me by. All of this was great as I was gaining experience, and had a bit of money in my pocket. When I began to realise he wasnt paying me on time (weeks late at a time) and a few respectable people I knew told me a few things about this bloke, I got a bit weary, but I carried on as if nothing was happening, as I was in no place to comment. Then when my boss took on a new guy, to run the day to day business functions I really knew something was up. The guy he had hired was sound, and a very capable arborist, who has run his own firm and really was legit. When this guy started pointing things out to me I hadnt noticed previously, because of no experience with any other firm. Things started to turn sour, this guy left after being pushed to far (blunt saws, no petrol, dodgy climbing kit .etc ) Then it was just me and the boss left, after our lead climber left for the same reasons as the other guy. I then worked with the boss for a couple more months, doing a fair bit of climbing and if not, being the only groundsman (with no tickets at this time) either way, working bloody hard. I then quit as the money had stayed the same (a very very small amount), I would be waiting silly amounts of time for money, and just generally feeling used. Admitedly I had very little experience but felt I had learnt alot in my short time and had been told by many people I was undervalued. So after around 3 months I continued to work for this man as there was no other work around me (that 3 months was filled with job hunting btw) and I desperately needed the dollar. So over this Summer I worked hard for him and received little for it. At the end of August I finally jacked it in as I was told by a few more people some really bad stories about the bloke , aswell as being in the van when we got pulled over and the copper informed the boss of his MOT being months overdue.. So a few more weeks pass and I still have not recieved the rest of my money he owes me ( some months old) My mum takes me their one evening about 4 weeks ago as she was getting annoyed also, He gives me my cheque, in a very heated mannor, and reckons he needs all of the previous receipts from cheques he had given me, and being a teenager, they were long gone! Admitedly not good on my part but he had never told me that he needed them. I recieved the first angry call a fortnight ago, saying he needs them desperately. So I leave a note in a bag along with his work shirt saying sorry I do not have them. He rings me 20 mins ago bellowing down the phone all sorts of threats to me personally, and if he does not have them come Monday "I will see a different side of him" . Now my question is, why does he need these so desperately? I can understand signing a bit of paper at the end of the day for someone hiring me for the day, but a collection of bank official receipts, which he never wanted before? I was never under any contract of employment or anything so why am I being threatened for them?? Im sorry to write such a long rant but I am really in a tight spot. I would appreciate any feedback, even if it is negative to me. I probably deserve it after being so cheeky about someone over the internet. Thanks in advance, Matt.
