  1. RSPCA - not all bad possibly

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by TaxiDriver

    My poor little 14wk old pup has suddenly developed a problem with her eyes,

    Inside of her upper and lower eyelids iare all red and pimpled/blistered/cysts or spots I dunno.

     

    I called our vets where she's registered, explained her symptoms and my current financial predicament and that I couldn't pay for a couple of weeks and could they/would they help ?

    Help ? Would they **** !!

    All they could do was give me details of the PDSA and suggest I go there if I wanted treatment for free.

    (It's 20+ miles away in Basildon !!)

    Now I know they're a business, they need to be paid they have bills to pay, But to turn an animal in distress away, to me shows their true measure.

     

    Anyways I phoned our local RSPCA clinic in quite a state of upset and managed to explain the situation and was told they do charge but it's subsidised, And to get puppy up there to be seen and we'd go from there.

    Got antibiotic tablets, some eye drops and consult fee was £15 (half of what my registered vets wanted)

    Total was £38.13 in total, on account unofficially till I can sort it out.

    Just got to see if we can get it cleared up.

    @ Me Matt,

     

    No, the Cd unit in the basic Mondeo is bigger than a double din unit as its various function buttons are around the central unit.

    The Sony head unit in higher models is simply Double Din.

     

    Thanks

    It'd be obvious IF only it was easy to take and upload a couple of photos on here

    Well if they didnt look the same shape that should have been a clue...

    I didn't have both vehicles here for a side by side comparison :P

     

    I did a straight swap - head unit and multi play CD changer from a focus to a transit, units were identical, just one had multi play buttons and the other didnt.

    There's loads of fascia plate adapters available- maybe you need one of them?

    Some of the higher end variants (if there can be such a thing] of the Mondeos had a Sony Unit that was a Double Din unit with all its control buttons on its face, mine being a lower class has a Ford unit with function buttons around the central unit.

    Update :

     

    They DO NOT straight swap out :(

    Transit is a straight forward Double Din aperture and the Mondeo is ........well ..summat else as all the function buttons are around it,

    Although, I believe some Mondeos had a higher end Sony Double Din unit fitted

     

    Ho Hum, knew it seemed to easy

  15. Holiday pay

    48hrs, then your supposed to sign an opt out form to work more.

    The trouble is.....employers can do what the hell they like with little fear of being brought to book.

    My last employ we started at 8am on day One and went off duty 6pm on day Four,

    Normal day was only paid 8am - 6pm but we had to take a 7.5ton truck home after and were 'On Call' and obliged to respond

    Thanks guys,

    I have an MOT failure 2004/2005 Mondeo with a CD/Radio, (model #2006 I believe?)

    Would this be a straight swap into my 2005 Transit which only has a Tape/Radio (model #2004 ?)

     

    I'm hoping all the plugs would be exactly the same ?

  23. Coating for deep frying chicken ?

    Thanks all,

    Well due to a shopping disaster today, Spent over an hour selecting the cheapest of everything, 'own brand' - 'value' range and got our monthly food shop down to £77 .

    Got to the till, everything scanned through and bagged, Utt Ohhh card declined - insufficient funds. More embarrassing as all in front of my wife's colleagues, she was next to inconsolable.

    Anyways had to walk round the shop putting everything back.

     

    We get one egg every couple of days from our last chook, So it'll be dipped in a beaten egg and into a bit of plain flour before frying, or tossed in a bit of veg' oil and then in the oven

    Had a bit of luck and ended up getting about 20-25kg of Free Chicken,

    It's portioned/jointed up as Thighs, Drumsticks, wings and legs and has gone in the freezer.

     

    I'm never gonna be another Colonel Sanders,

    but can anyone tell me how to make a simple coating (with perhaps a hint of BBQ or Sweet Chilli ?) for deep frying please ?
