So, Jimmy, when you ask a serious question here and people take the
**** out of you you throw your toys out the pram?

Hypocrisy?

Cheers, T i m

I have seen 6.2m telescopic ladders on eBay for £19.00 but you got to ask yourself just how good they are when the likes of Screwfix are selling 3m+ types between £100 & £150. I really would not like to find out when 6m above the ground. I have a 3.6m one which is more than adequate to reach everything I need to on our bungalow but it is heavy and difficult to manoeuvre I can only imagine how awkward a version nearly twice mine would be to carry, extend and manoeuvre.


My son gave me a 250 GB memory card that he had bought on ebay for £2. I
stuck it in the phone and it worked for a while before becoming corrupt
and being thrown away. I appreciate that you'd notice if your 6m ladder
were really only 1m, but there's bound to be a safety issue at that price.
