By
some
luck
I
then
found
a
manufacturer
in
China
and
quickly
found
a
Chinese
teacher
in
the
UK
to
give
me
some
quick
lessons
in
Chinese
as
I
had
to
go
to
China
to
have
the
products
produced.
We
eventually
became
good
friends
and
went
on
many
camping
trips
together
with
our
partners.
I
travelled
around
China
in
the
darkest
most
dangerous
places,
that
to
Western
eyes
would
look
like
war
torn,
devastated
places,
trying
to
find
manufacturers.
I
even
had
my
mobile
phone
cut
off
by
the
extreme
failures
of
Orange
Plc
whilst
I
was
alone
on
a
boat
in
the
middle
of
the
night
somewhere
in
the
South
China
Sea
between
Hong
Kong
and
Mainland
China,
and
didn’t
even
know
if
my
contact
was
going
to
show
up.
It
was
a
bit
of
wild
journey
as
China
was
slowly
rising
out
of
a
third
world
Country
status
and
many
changes
were
taking
place.
It
was
exciting
visiting
all
the
manufacturers
and
seeing
my
own
products
being
produced
and
then
having
them
shipped
back
to
the
UK.
I
had
the
thoughts
(as
everyone
does)
that
should
I
sit
with
the
container
on
the
way
back?
Do
I
hitch
a
lift
with
the
crew?
This
was
how
important
my
little
fencebrackets
were
to
me.
Years
later
another
inventor
who
was
just
starting
off
asked
me
the
same
questions
and
I
realised
how
far
I
had
got
with my journey and passion.
I
attempted
to
build
relationships
with
the
Chinese
to
ensure
my
products
were
of
a
very
good
quality
and
produced
at
a
competitive
price.
I
think
that
was
a
key
decision
and
part
of
the
continued
success.
Apart
from
one
issue
over
labelling,
i’ve
never
had
any
problems
with
the
Chinese
MFR
and
we
had
a
great
relationship
up
to
the
point
where
my
business
was
destroyed
by
the
Defendants.
I
came
to
love
travelling
around
China
-
there
is
something
about
it
that
fascinated
me.
It’s
a
different
world.
The
culture
is
very
different,
the
food
is
very
different
the
whole
way
of
life.
I
used
to
stay
in
Hong
Kong
regularly.
It
was
all
a
bit
of
a
ball.
Restauranting
away
the
nights
in
Victoria
Harbour
and
the
Peak,
visting
the
Terracotta
Army
in
Xian,
dining
away
Shanghai
nights,
it
was
all
enormous
fun
and
my
fencebrackets
were
gaining
traction
in
the
market
all
the
time.
I
think
I
can
say
I
fell
in
love
with
China
and
continued
to
go
back
there
on
business
for
many
years
until
the
recession
hit
the
UK
in
2009
and
then
I
had
to
focus
on
keeping
the
business
going in the UK, so I had to cut out all the expensive trips.
Over
the
years
whilst
my
fencebrackets
were
becoming
established
I
also
began
inventing
other
products
that
I
found
a
need
for
in
construction.
I
was
still
running
my
construction
business
and
found
niches
in
the
market
where
products
were
needed.
I
actually
began
consciously
looking
for
more
products
to
produce
to
help
build
my
business.
I
had
the
dream
of
building
an
empire
with
my
products
selling
all
over
the
world
making
a
better
place
and
to
some
degree
I
did
achieve that. I just expected to get paid and earn my fortune.
Whilst
all
of
this
was
going
on,
I
continued
to
telephone
and
write
to
dozens
of
businesses
and
Companies
begging
for
them to stock my products. I still did not have any interest from any of them.
In
Autumn
of
2007
I
then
did
another
GLEE
trade
show
costing
approx.
£4000
with
the
new
products
that
sported
the
new
labels
and
brilliantly
displayed
in
the
new
display
stands
I
designed
myself
and
was
a
little
more
successful
at
this
show.
I
took
on
a
couple
of
new
stockists
and
found
a
Distributor
to
small
independent
fencing
retailers
who
has
later
become
a
named
Defendant.
I
also
saw
some
of
the
other
Defendants
at
the
show
who
walked
past
my
stand
ignoring
me
and
smirking
at
me
as
they
passed
pretending
to
have
no
interest
in
me
or
my
products
or
Patents
and
whilst
at
the
same
time
giving
themselves
a
pat
on
the
back
every
year
and
awarding
each
other
bonuses
for
‘how
well
they’re
doing’
out
of
my
products/Patents
they
neither
invented
nor
paid
for.
They
also
had
the
luxury
of
driving
new
Company
cars
around
paid
for
on
the
profits
of
my
Patent
that
they
have
stolen
and
used,
whilst
I
have
to
drive
a
beaten
up
old
van
because
all
of
my
money
went
into
the
Patents
and
products
that
I
invented.
Patents
and
products
that
they
have
illegally taken, copied and used to generate themselves tens of millions of pounds in revenues.
I
began
a
relationship
with
the
Distributor
that
I
met
at
GLEE
under
the
new
Company
that
I
had
set
up
in
2004:
United
Fence
Products
Inc.
Ltd
and
continued
to
supply
the
small
bunch
of
stockists
(about
25-35
retailers).
After
another
year
the
Distributor
had
sold
my
products
into
around
another
200
retailers
and
my
products
and
Fencebrackets
brand
was
becoming
known
in
the
marketplace.
A
precarious
relationship
between
us
continued
(mainly
due
to
price
disputes
and
who
would
deal
with
which
customers
as
there
was
some
overlap)
until
2010
and
until
they
decided
to
counterfeit
my
products,
but
between
us
we
had
supplied
around
450
independent
retailers
in
the
UK.
I’ve
still
had
to
continue
investing
my
own
money
as
the
world
currencies
have
collapsed
due
to
the
global
recessions
and
the
increasing
costs
wipe
out
my
percentage
of
the
profit,
as
the
products
are
of
a
low
value
and
only
enormous
volumes
generate
good
profits.
Enormous
volumes
as
sold
by
the
Defendants.
I’ve
not
been
able
to
make
any
money
out
of
my
products
in
ten
years
and
I’ve
only
been
able
to
go
on
one
proper
holiday
in
2011
in
more
or
less
the
same
amount
of
time.
The
reason
that
I
continued
the
relationship
with
the
Distributor
is
that
whilst
I
wasn’t
making
any
money
out
of
it,
my
products
and
brands
are
in
the
market
place
and
the
sales
volumes
are
growing
rapidly.
I’ve
forced
my
way
into
an
industry
dominated
by
a
few
enormous
Companies
that
all
maintain
a
monopoly
and
block
new
small
individuals
like
me
from
entering
the
market
as
best
they
can
and,
I’ve
done
this
on
a
shoestring
budget.
My
products
are
well
known
throughout
the
industry
and
nobody
will
help
me
or
back
me
out
of
pure
envy
and
jealousy
because
they
haven’t
done
it
at
such
a
young
age.
I
continue
to
invent
more
and
more
products
because
the
only
way
of
standing
up
to
these
big
players
is
to
keep
being
successful
and
eventually
engulf
them.
I’m
like
a
wasp
to
them
a
tiny
little
insect
that
delivers
a
big sting.
In
2014
I
engaged
with
B&Q
plc
the
market
leading
DIY
retailer.
They
finally
agreed
to
stock
my
products
that
went
into
330
stores
very
reluctantly.
I
got
the
first
order
to
them
in
June
and
the
products
had
sold
out
within
2
weeks
of
going
on
display.
I
achieved
their
highest
sales
rating
and
it
took
everyone
by
surprise.
I
was
nervous
about
stocking
the
big
retailers
because
I
didn’t
want
to
be
a
failure
but
my
product
did
very
well.
I
continued
to
supply
B&Q
for
almost
4
years
until
the
UK
Government
corruption
got
involved
to
stop
them
selling
my
products;
because
by
selling
my
products
in
large
volumes
it
gave
credibility
and
a
track
record
to
the
products
and
the
value
of
the
intellectual
property,
which
is
exactly
what
the
Government
doesn’t
want
because
that
is
something
that
is
enforceable.
The
UK
Government
doesn’t
want
individuals
being
rich
and
successful
because
you’re
out
of
their
control
and
misery.
I
have
constantly
asked
B&Q
why
they
refuse
to
place
an
order
since
the
civil
cases
became
known
and
they
refuse
to
give
any
honest
answer.
It
is
disappointing
and
a
crying
shame.
With
the
help
of
B&Q
and
the
other
small
independant
retailers
I
sold
almost
4
million
fencebrackets
until
the
Defendants
flooded
the
marketplace
with
counterfeits
and
used
their
corporate
might
to
wipe
my
products
out
from
the
market.
This
is
serious
organised
crime
and
the
UK
Government refuses to do anything about it.
I
had
a
great
time
in
my
life
getting
my
orders
out.
I
was
often
driving
down
to
the
ports
to
collect
shipments,
arranging
shipping,
lugging
pallets
and
pallets
of
stock
around
on
my
own,
working
my
guts
out.
But
it
was
a
thrill
and
exciting.
To
be
honest,
even
though
I
was
trying
to
make
a
fortune,
the
money
wasn’t
really
a
big
part
part
of
it
because
I
was
slogging
away
and
seeing
my
work
paying
off.
I
knew
I
was
building
up
value
but
I
was
more
interested
in
seeing
people
delighted
with
products
that
I
had
created
and
knowing
that
what
I
was
doing
was
extremely
successful.
When
you’re
starting
off,
you
don’t
really
care
about
profits
-
it’s
just
about
doing
it,
being
in
business
and
trading
and
finding
your way, and people putting up their fences loved my products.
The Fencebrackets Story
Page 2
In
2013
I
was
at
the
cusp
of
re-launch
with
a
range
of
these
products
when
I
then
got
dragged
into
the
first
civil
case
against
the
Defendants.
It
killed
it
all
off
and
all
the
different
versions
for
different
types
of
insulation.
Then
to
my
sheer
horror,
another
group
of
the
Defendants
decided
to
produce
products
for
retaining
insulation
between
rafters
that
without
doubt
are
stolen
from
my
patents
and
they
launch
their
products
in
the
UK
calling
them
‘Rafterclips’
which
is
my
registered
trademark.
This
is
serious
and
organised
crime.
See
the
Evidence
page.
It
wiped
out
years
of
my
painstaking
work
and
enduring
the
trecherous
road
of
pioneering
the
work,
creating
an
entire
market
for
these
products
and
putting
all
my
love
and
passion
into
it,
only
to
find
the
entire
lot
is
stolen
without
conscience
by
worldwide companies that bribe the UK Government into turning a blind eye.
I
recently
had
another
vivid
dream
about
this
situation.
I
get
lots
of
them!
In
the
dream
I
am
next
to
a
wide,
fast
running
river
with
a
strong
current
and
holding
a
conversation
with
an
old
man.
He
is
dressed
in
a
grey
ragged
old
hessian
tunic
-
a
one
piece
outfit
tied
around
the
waist
by
a
old
worn
out
cord
and
he
has
a
grey
whitish
beard.
I
can’t
quite
make
out
his
face
but
I
know
he
is
in
a
senior
position
in
the
community.
He
has
a
sense
of
calmness
but
exudes
a
silent
strength
and
Authority.
I
am
saying
to
him
that
this
situation
has
wiped
out
my
life
and
it
is
slowly
killing
me;
i’m
not
getting
any
support
from
Authority
and
i’m
left
all
on
my
own
trying
to
bring
worldwide
companies
to
justice.
He
knows
that
I
am
in
despair
and
he
says
to
me:
‘in
the
old
days,
we
used
to
fill
the
rivers
with
lime
so
that
the
water
would
run
white.
Everyone
in
the
community
would
know
that
someone
in
Authority,
or
people
that
are
supposed
to
be
looking
out
for
the
welfare
of
others,
had
done
something
shameful
and
disgraceful”.
He
then
said:
“Keep
going…
(meaning
keep
pursuing
justice)…
because
the
rivers
will
run
white
with
shame”.
In
my
dream-state
mind
this
means
because
the
people
behind
this
and
who
are
playing
an
active
part
in
corruption,
have
committed
sins
against
the
spirit
-
not
just
against
me
but
against
life
and
the
Creator
or
God
or
the
Great
Spirit
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
the
divine.
The
water
is
significant
because
obviously
it
represents
life.
When
I
awoke,
I
still
had
this
dream
on
my
mind
and
other
bible
verses
came
to
me
such
as
“those
who
judge
will
also
be
judged”,
but
I
think
it
means
judged
by
the
community
and
they
will
be
removed
from
Authority.
I’m
not
particularly
religious
nor
a
devout
Christian
and
so
these
things
are
unusual
and
wouldn’t
crop
up
in
daily
life,
but
I
believe
that
by
persuing
justice,
this
will
result
in
great
benefit
to
all
those
out
there
that
are
also
doing
good
for
themselves
and
their
communities.
Anyway, back to the main story:
Again
between
2009
and
2014
I
had
ideas
for
my
range
of
Plantladders®.
These
were
a
range
of
trellises
to
fit
to
concrete
fence
posts
to
help
vertical
growing
and
to
disguise
the
ugly
concrete
or
enhance
the
appearance
of
fences
etc.
I
always
enjoyed
spending
time
in
the
garden
growing
my
vegetables
etc.
and
through
wanting
to
spice
up
the
garden
I
invented
my
Plantladders®.
I
wrote
and
filed
all
the
patents
and
got
to
prototyping
and
packaging
but
then
the
civil
cases
ruined
the
dream.
These
are
now
on
a
back
burner
and
I
may
return
to
this
but
probably
not
-
i’ve
lost
all
the
enthusiasm
of
doing
it.
Why
keep
investing
if
you
know
the
Authorities
will
commit
crime
against
you
rather
than supporting you? One of these patents was also ruined by the incompetence of the UK Patent Office.
Here is an early prototype>>>
it has come on a long way since then: I have granted patents,
I have granted designs, registered trademarks etc. It cost me a fortune
to acquire those rights.
I doubt these products will now ever reach market because I’ve lost all
enthusiasm, even though i’ve now patented adjustable legs, made updates etc.
I had clear visions of amazing packaging and ways of presenting these products.
There isn’t (or at least wasn’t) anything like this in the UK market. Since then,
I’ve
also
been
developing
an
indoor
hydroponics
system
which
isn’t
new
tech,
but
promotes
healthy
living
and
encourages
folk
to
grow
clean
crops.
Smart
gardens
have
now
appeared
in
the
USA
but
my
inventions
go
further
than
that. I can’t disclose any more of it because i’m still working on it, but these products are another big hitter.
In
2012
I
began
working
on
another
tool
known
as
my
Spirit
level
bolt-
ons.
These
are
a
range
of
mini
tools
that
bolt-
on
to
a
spirit
level
funnily
enough!
The
patents
are
pending.
One
was
almost
at
grant
and
i’ve
now
come
against
more
dishonesty and crime carried out by the UK Patent Office. Read about it under the UK Gov. Corruption page above.
Between
2008
to
2012
I
also
began
work
on
my
new
brand
of
sheeps
wool
insulation
which
was
also
part
of
the
reason
that
led
me
to
insulating
my
mothers
loft.
My
new
brand
Sheepsulation
(see:
sheepsulation.com
)
was
for
a
Chinese
insulation
product
that
is
used
to
insulate
skyscrapers
all
over
the
world.
The
product
wasn’t
mine
but
it
was
an
unknown
product
in
the
UK
and
the
Chinese
were
asking
me
to
help
them
develop
their
European
market,
and
so
I
created
the
Sheepsulation
brand.
I
spent
£8000
developing
the
brand
and
marketing
material
and
even
had
to
set
up
the
trade
tariffs
for
UK
customs
because
nobody
had
ever
heard
of
this
product.
£8000
might
seem
like
a
pittance,
but
when
you’ve
only
got
pennies
to
your
name,
that
is
suddenly
A
LOT
of
money
to
part
with.
Yet
again
completely
lost
and destroyed by the Defendants. What started off as an exciting story has slowly turned to darkness.
Between
2015
to
2017
I
haven’t
worked
or
filed
a
great
deal
of
patents.
I’ve
lost
all
love
and
passion
for
doing
it.
I’ve
just
filed
a
new
patent
for
my
railman®
-
more
versions
for
different
purposes.
I
can
see
the
great
benefit
this
will
bring
to tradesmen but until this situation is resolved, everything is being delayed or just ruined.
My
products
pretty
much
outsell
all
other
similar
fence
fixing
products
wherever
they
are
sold
because
they
are
brilliant
–
they
are
the
Easiest
way
for
anyone
in
the
world
to
put
up
their
fence.
I
can
see
an
enormous
value
building
up
in
the
products,
brands
and
of
course
Patents
but
it
has
been
a
very
long
road.
Before
the
Defendants’
crime
I
still
didn’t
have
any
investment
or
loans
or
debts
but
I
haven’t
made
any
money
either
because
of
the
constant
reinvestment
of
profits
into
more
products
and
into
expansion.
I
got
to
the
stage
where
I
finally
began
to
see
a
return
on my decades of backbreaking work which was then stifled and ruined by the lawlessness of the Defendants.
So
back
to
the
positive
and
the
fencebrackets
story.
Between
2009
to
2013
I
kept
ploughing
away
inventing
and
marketing
as
many
new
products
as
I
could,
keeping
a
positive
energy
going
and
on
a
fast
paced
track
to
success.
I
had
now
come
to
realise
and
fully
believe
in
my
talent
and
skill
as
a
professional
inventor
and
I
had
found
the
secret
formula
to
success.
In
2009
I
began
working
on
my
Rafterclips®.
These
are
a
new
and
fabulous
way
of
retaining
insulation
between
rafters
and
beams
etc.
I
almost
stumbled
across
this
innovation
because
I
had
to
insulate
my
mother’s
loft
(attic).
After
getting
my
hands
full
of
fibreglass
strands
and
itching
for
days
I
got
fed
up
with
it
and,
well
you
know
the
story
-
guess
what?
There
must
be
a
better
way
of
doing
it
than
this!
So
again
I
started
off
with
my
prototypes
full
of
excitement
and
spirit.
I
worked
on
the
products,
trialling,
testing,
selling
a
few
thousand
at
trade
shows,
remaking
and
bringing
to
market
more
products,
filing
all
the
patents,
designing
the
packaging.
I
can
confidently
say
that
I
pioneered
the
work
in
this
field
and
I
was
very
proud
of
what
I
was
slowly
achieving.
I
still
didn’t
have
enough
money
and
I
approached
the
UK
Government’s
Develop
Fund
in
the
South
West
for
a
grant
to
support
my
work.
They
told
me
that
they
had
never
heard
of
anyone
fitting
insulation
between
rafters
and
therefore
I
had
no
chance
of
getting
a
grant.
So
to
make
this
clear
for
the
reader
-
the
UK
Government
told
me
that
because
someone
else
hadn’t
done
it
first,
it
meant
that
nobody
could
do
it.
These
people
are
absolute
assholes.
This
is
why
the
Country
is
dead.
So
after
they
basically
told
me
that
my
ideas
were
stupid,
I
set
aside
their
idiotic
nonsense
and
carried
on
bringing
the
products
to
market
myself.
I
tested
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
prototypes.
I
built
up
roof
structures
in
my
workshop
and
used
them
to
test
the
prototypes
continually
refining
them
and
creating
all
the
point
of
sale
marketing
material
etc.
Of
course
it
does
help
being
in
the
construction
trade
because
then
you
have
free
guinea
pigs
to
test
this
stuff out on LOL :)
I will upload a pdf of all the pics which can also
