Thanks so much Andy, I'll give that a try....:yes:

I agree with bantambunny, this needs investigating thoroughly, the more people that complain, the more ambulance management will have to listen, so please complain about this terrible situation.

:whistling:lol.......not at all mate, sorry it looked like that....pmsl, I honestly didn't mean it to look like it pains me to agree with you..... I really do agree with you........:innocent:

:helpsmilie: I know I hear you all shout......lol. My fuel guage shows half full when in fact the tank is empty, and when filled up, the needle goes right off the scale and way up past the little picture of the petrol pump, has anyone had this and if so is it an easy fix? :helpsmilie:

Sorry, I hope the young lady involved is ok, and recovers quickly from her injuries.

:cursing: And believe me, this is happening all over the country, Please, please, please do not focus your anger on the ambulance crew, it is NOT THEIR FAULT, I used to get jobs from the ambulance station I was based at, to an area 30-40 miles away, and it's even worse now, it's all about the orcon standards (times taken), you will probably find that they were from out of the area they are from, or even worse,were St. John ambulance, if you are going to throw blame about, blame the ambulance service bosses who have never even seen the back of an ambulance in their lives, they are just accountants, not knocking accountants at all, but............... This is a true story: - !! an ambulance crew were on their way to an emergency, when they hear another job go out over the radio to another ambulance crew. The crew of the first ambulance contacted the control room and said that they were going to drive past the job given to the second ambulance, and the second ambulance was going to drive past the job given to the first ambulance, so each vehicle was nearer to the scene of the opposite jobs. They said to control we think it would be better to swap the jobs around, control replied with this: - "you are not paid to think, carry on with the jobs we have given you", so each ambulance drove passed both the jobs and each other on the way to the original jobs. Another true story for you: - sorry to bore you. I was on a job taking a patient to hospital, when a fire engine went screaming past us, we could see smoke in the distance. It turned out that an aerosol factory had had an explosion. When we arrived at the hospital we were taking our patient to, we heard that another crew were bringing a seriousley burnt patient in. Now the ambulance station I was based at is just behind one of the best if not the best burns units in the country, so we knew that the burnt patient would be being transfered to our hospital, so we informed control, and said we would wait until the patient was stabalised at the first hospital, and we would then transfer to our hospital with the burns unit. We received the reply "no, return to station", we tried to explain that all the other vehicles in the area were busy with the other casualties from the factory, and again said we would wait to transfer, again we got the answer no, return to station for your break. We had no choice but to return to station, as we were approaching our station, a vehicle carrying the patient from the original hospital came screaming past us complete with police escort. We could have had the patient to the burns unit a lot faster, the patient died later in hospital. As I have stated, please don't take your anger out on the wrong people, be sure of all the facts first. It pains me to say this in this day and age, but I'm with takemetothepub on this one: - And its for that exact reason if anyone ever needs an ambulance and you want it FAST you say heart problems (stopped, cant find a pulse, tight chest pains etc) or the patient has stopped breathing, I realise it's not right to lie, but if it was one of my loved ones, I wouldn't hesitate, knowing what I know from both sides of the coin. :cursing: Cheers

Welcome to the club buddy, nice looking Zed you have there:thumbup1:

I always said that we would not have an NHS when they started changing the hospitals and Ambulance services to trusts. We will eventually go exactly the same as the USA, the rich can get while everyone else suffers, it's a crime......:wheelchair:

:cursing: Fookers mate, it really makes my blood boil, I don't have one so I'll have someone elses attitude!! I'll keep an eye out on ebay mate, don't think they will come up to my neck of the woods but I will keep my eyes open. Hang the barstewards when caught......if caught......:cursing:

Try this mate, plug the drive into the pc or laptop. Go to my computer find your HDD, right click on it, then go into properties, last option at the bottom, once in properties, click on the tools tab you should find the top option says check disc for errors, click the button, it will find and fix errors for you, it may not work on a dropped drive, but worth a try.

Hee hee hee, sorry again Richard, that was meant for FASTREDZ.....:angel::oops:

Have you tried a windows repair on the drive?

What's higher tate tax?...........lol........:taz: Sorry Richard.

Nice looking Zed mate, hope it's the one for you..........:thumbup1:

I'd have put a bid in for this, but it's a manual, and with my disability I can only drive automatics comfortably............lol, it's a beautiful car though isn't it?....:whistling:...:wheelchair:

Over the moon we could help out at a difficult time for you mate, good luck with the rest of the build, hope you can finish it off in the time frame you have. I agree Quavey, what sort of club would we be if we cannot help a fellow member out in rough times, I think it's fantastic........:clap: For everyone.
