			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t believe the big on-line traders &#8211; it is still possible to deliver from and to Scotland by Christmas. The big on-line guys use couriers -we use Royal Mail. The couriers use huge central depots which are a still trying to cope with the backlog caused by the weather chaos last week in central Scotland.. Royal Mail are delivering on-time from and to our area in the North East of Scotland.</p>
<p>The big on-line traders also do not know their Scottish geography &#8211; we are located in the North East of Scotland &#8211; far away chaos in theCentral belt. During last week we were delivering sucessfully to UK customers using Royal Mail and we had more snow!</p>
<p>If I was a cynical chap I might also think that some of those large online traders are either using the weather related problems last week in Central Scotland to &#8216;encourage&#8217; customers to buy now rather than delay their purchase or, if they have large stores, &#8216;encourage&#8217; shoppers to purchase in their stores rather than on-line.</p>
<p>We can still accept orders up 22nd to get delivery by the 24th &#8211; provided we have the item in stock.</p>

<p>We are a small independant retailer short of space but long in experience of Nikwax Analogy and Páramo Directional Waterproofs. </p>
<p>Incidently we reckon that we are the oldest Páramo Retailer still in existence, starting in 1994.  </p>
<p>Being short of space we cannot stock all Páramo&#8217;s products in all sizes and colours at all times. If a customer wants a garment which we do not have in stock, the Páramo Retailer Portal comes to rescue.</p>
<p>Since early September, many satisfacted customers have purchased garments through the portal and delivered home free of charge.</p>
<p>See the Paramo <a href="http://paramo.co.uk/en-gb/ParamoPartners.php">website</a> for more details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The July/August 2010  issue of <a href="http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/">Ethical Consumer Magazine</a> includes a review of outdoor clothing and equipment.  The best buy and overall rated outdoor jacket was by <a href="http://www.paramo.co.uk">Paramo</a>.  They have an extract on the criteria used by ethical magazine on their <a href="http://www.paramo.co.uk/cmsdata/Downloads/review/outdoorgear-cut-1.pdf">site</a>. The ethical score is out of 20 and Paramo scored 13.5 so the whole industry still has some work to do but it is clear some manufacturers have put the impact on the environment ahead of other commercial considerations.  The Trees for Life blog have a good summary on the <a href="http://www.treesforlife.org.uk/companies/paramo.html">history of Paramo and  ethical</a> issues.</p>

<p>&#8220;<em>sustainable business practices, like manufacturing with recycled  materials, making products more durable, and trying to lessen their  impact</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>This is encouraging to read.  A lot of those guiding words are included in the values behind the <a href="http://www.ventile.co.uk/">Ventile</a> fabrics.  A natural use of the properties of cotton used to protect us against the elements.</p>
