I'll put my hand up and say that Saturn are hopeless too. Recently ordered new blades, after two months of ringing every week and being fobbed off I cancelled my order. The guy on phone couldn't give a toss about it. Will never use them again, expect they will get where they are going!

Don't pretend you do invoices Bolam! We all know you go home and swim in a heated pool of cash!

Used to do rope access work and get paid in this fashion. No expert, but no one else has replied. So. You can register for CIS on the HMRC website. Have a search on there. Not sure how your employer has already paid you, as you need to be registered for the scheme first, but maybe they are going to back date it. Also I was under the illusion that you got 20% deductions. The only way I can see it being 30% is if they have included class 2 national insurance deductions also. But these depend on you making more that £15k ish profit, which if you have only started and are buying kit etc, may not happen. Finally, from my own experience it is imperative you get the correct paper work from the employer. Similar to a pay slip on paye. If not, come tax time you will end up paying tax on it again. With the paper work it is marked down as tax already paid. The HMRC won't tell you what has been paid in by the employer even though i'm sure they know. Smart eh!? Hope this helps, my advice is to pay an accountant to do the book work, they will save your their fee at a minimum. But at the same time collecting All the necessary paper work is your responsibility.

Nice! I spotted the calamine version on sherill's and pestered honey's till they got it in. The UK version will be ce marked, I know some loler inspectors will baulk at the non ce American version.

Think poison ivy is the same rope, but in different colours. Should be able to get it per metre anyhow.

It's the spacer from a dmm pinto. Keeps some of the wet gack off the rope.

I don't know mate, but i'm fairly sure a search will pull up a few threads, certainly are a few.

I'm the same, had two pairs of stretch air, the second were poor so gave up. Had three pair of sips in a row, i'm fairly sore on them, they last around eighteen months, then patch them up for wet day use. Excellent trousers, same again for me next time!

You have started a great thread! Think I know who you work for and I know from the word on the street moral is at an all time low. It's a shame, plenty of good blokes in there. Hopefully the management wake up before it's too late.

Is this company an arb association contractor? They may be interested in hearing from you. Climbers choice is final on tree hazards and whether it's safe to climb. Always other options as you said in your op.

Should that pic up there be in the 'show us your lunge' thread?

Even if they are soaking, i'm guessing it would be quite profitable to buy say 100 cube and let them dry for a year. Then sell on for whatever you can get. Everyone's a winner.

As above, what Skyhuck said. Most unusual and offensive posts on here for a while.

I see nothing wrong there either. Hard to beat a bit of Connie bashing! Nice to see other people's work, keep posting! Hope your groundies kept pace with the clean up.

Haynes manual special, 'refitting is a reversal of removal'. Always useful after ten pages of how to take apart. Good luck!
