Icky,

The same question was asked on the forum on 19 Jan:

Kind regards

Have to say, I gave up on it too - very poor pics. I'm not certain these complex ties are worth the grief. Having said that , the Klinkhammer isnt the easiest tie ever and I wouldnt be without them.

Seems admin have been busy through the night....I presume you felt the need to go running to the teacher Icky?

Is this how it works on here...you offer someone less knowledgeable some advice and they come back with a sarcastic reply as a way of thanks.
