Essex Dogs

Many Fords were made at the lovely Dagenham, Essex plant. Over the years these cars and their revolutionary levels of soft, soft body work and inconsistent panel gaps became known as Essex or Dagenham Dogs.

The Ford Fiesta 1.6S MK3 was one of the only models not made in Germany or Spain, but because of it's combination of trim and engine had to be completed in the SVT (Special Vehicles Team) department at Dagenham. Do not buy this model, it can rust it's chassis rails through in about 3 years due to a bizarre lack of rust proofing.

I would guess they just plain thought someone else had sealed that bit. Perish the thought they make Police cars and Ambulances there.

Get the Essex Dogs mug.

rot dog

A savory stew comprised mainly of canned vegetables and an 8-pack of hot dogs sliced up into little discs. This is a traditional Brazilian dish, and surprisingly is vegetarian.

This rot dog stew is turning, I'm gonna need some more ketchup

Shave a dog

VERB- An elevated level of "hair of the dog", see (hair of the dog), when extremely hung over. Thus implying to get enough of the hair of the dog that bit you to stop or lessen the effects of said hangover one must shave the entire dog.

I'm so hung over, I'm gonna shave a dog!

Mad Dog

A crazy old git that sometimes gets as mardy as his arse even if you haven't done anything wrong. It's a gamble wether you're gonna piss him off or not or vice versa.
It's also a McPorritt that can't find anything to do with his hair, needs to pull his trousers up sometimes and drive a little quicker now and again.
