The message
from aquachimp contains these words:


/hack/


So, does anyone know where I can get such a sway (other then being
ripped off via Ebait)?
Do they have a particular name?
have any suggestions for my online search.


Look in auction houses, secondhand shops, Freecycle, etc.


I have a wooden one even older than the one you describe - it is
tensioned with a twisted cord at the top of the 'H' and held with a
beechwood peg.


Loosen it, and you can twist the blade to any angle.


New one here for 30 quid.http://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/su...picking-prunin...

Thank you. Though not for the advert, but for the wording of your
reply, because it extended my search possibilities and I think I've
now found it.

Trouble now is how to get it from Italy.


The bow saws we use are much bigger than the wolf one you mention. It
means that we can hag them on our shoulder as we climb. I can't see
that as a real possibility with the wolf one


Ok, ever resourseful beings; I've filled in their request form. The
site is entirely in English, but on submitting the form I get back;


La vostra richiesta è stata inviata, verrete ricontattati al più
presto.


What does that mean?


I got it last week too, and assumed it might mean something about
getting back to me ASAP.. *Wrong, clearly.


And, in for a penny an all, how do I write, in Italian, *how much is
their adjustable bow saw , (Euro or £), will they send to Belgium, or
have they an outlet there already?


Ta (-:


There is a Dutch auction site that disposes of bankrupt businesses, among the
hundreds of items that belonged to an outdoor activity companyhttp://www.bva-auctions.com/auction/index/1025*is a lot consisting of 6 bow
saws and climbing ropes etc. Half the things don't attract a single bid. On the
same site the property of a fraudulent investment company "Easylife"!!! is up
for grabs. They seem to have spent the punters money on very expensive cars,
watches, wine and a lawn mower and
tractor(http://www.bva-auctions.com/category/index/1032/51153/2)

I wondered if you were 'that' martin.
