Oh Dear...

Fearing do a good manual that explains everything - you can order it (for free) from their website. I bought most of my stuff from them and Paddock perfection & would recommend both for good service.

Another one off my xmas list 

Ah, but you don't do a free manual for explaining the whole set up Gareth  Fearing do, then you just buy whichever energiser suits your needs  I can't remember if you didn't have any powerful enough ones or if the costs were 'prohibitive' compared to others - but you're always on my price check list

SFS i am surprised that there are any almost pure british companys left using british made components

Hi Robert,

Agreed, they are getting harder to find.

The one we are switching to designes and assembles everything - even makes the PCBs themselves - but they do use components (transistors / Resistors etc) from the "Global Market" - Hence I cant say they are 100% British Made - but one good point is that they offer repairs to their units if needed - I bet most companies treat them as "Throw Away" on defect outside the warranty period.

Thanks

The best thing all round that we've found is the thick electric rope. It doesn't get blown around in the wind so much and packs MUCH more of a punch than 40mm tape (I have a naughty shire horse who likes to test the limits !). It's easier for the pigs to see than steel wire and really easy to work with!

Brilliant advice and input folks thanks very much.  Several evenings' reading and research ahead of me, I see...
