  3. I've been doing quite alot of dismantling on my straight shank spikes and have also borrowed my mates twisted shank spikes and mine are loads more comfortable:thumbup:. My calf's killed after borrowing my mate twisted one's:thumbdown:
  4. Hi all I've recently been made redundent from my 3 day a week job, i was finding the other 2-3 days myself. I have been trying to find more work but i've come up with nothing. I've rang around loads of companies tried everyone i know, even the old builders i used to work for. If anyone on here knows of anyone around the eastmidlands who has even odd days here and there it would be much appreciated, as i would love to carry on working in this industry. But at the moment its looking like agency work multi drop delivery driving. I have my own ppe, climbing kit, lowering kit, saws and transport. I have cs 30,31,38,39,41,45 and first aid, and live in Nottingham. I funded myself through all my cs units so it's a waste to go doing van driving, but i've had no money for nearly 2 weeks, i've got 1 job tomorrow!. If anyone hears of anything my phone numbers 07917543637. Thanks Ben
