Had a couple of emails and a telephone conversation concerning this. and feel I have a duty to be a bit more serious again.

Above: a cache of the front page before they took off my own personal tool roll image (note myLeafblade and trowel are used):
Lets look at their version...
hmmm look kinda similar!!
I have now received emails telling me that :
lets see then shall we - using the magic of computers..
His version..
our friends actual product
As he said...
"I have closely studied your images compared to one we use on our site and they are indeed totally different...." look pretty similar to me! :face-thinks:
his totally unique version (though rotated and tinted a bit)
and er... my trowel! same light highlights.. same woodgrain same TROWEL!
His reply remember
"The trowel is also a unique image taken in a photo-tent. If you feel that it resembles yours, then that is only a coincidence.. "
This is only a small fraction of the problems that seem to be emerging... this is not about being pissed off about a trowel photo here or there.. nothing so petty.. it is about the dishonest replies... it is about the info that is coming into me...
I can't tell people anything other than ... these people have a way to go before I even consider thinking about them.... If people want to buy tools from them... feel free.. If you want to go on an excavation with them... it is your choice ...
I certainly won't as a personal choice.
And indeed I am getting a bit hot about some companies that feel they can take the p#ss.
The Tax on accomodation company.... the self employed diggers company... perhaps its time :face-huh: If people have nothing to hide... I am sure they won't mind?

The trowel is also a unique image taken in a photo-tent. If you feel that it resembles yours, then that is only a coincidence.. However, if you want me to remove the image I will take another photo of the trowel to settle the matter..
