Cookie said:interesting stuff but could you make it clear that at this stage this is unofficial advice from Bob Mehew and not approved advice from the BCA. Obviously that might change in the future once it has gone past the E&T Committee.
The simple answer is no I will not. I say no because making any such statement of "unofficial advice" will in my opinion immediately create a link that you wish to deny. I write on this forum in my personable capacity. If I were to formally make a statement as Rope Test Officer, then it will be flagged as Bob Mehew, BCA Rope Test Officer not just Bob Mehew. I accept that any such formal statement would be likely to follow closely what I say personally but there could be differences. If not just because debate on a forum like this can and does change my mind.
Apologies to other readers for getting political and going off topic.
