This was certainly the night shift. It was around 2:30am and almost noone was about. It was pretty dead up to now, and Paul and I were sitting about perusing several old articles. That was an unusual peaceful time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The customer told me: "I have only just completed my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the wife's Cadillac STS-V by mistake". We got him to let us know where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Barrow under 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so rapidly. While we were coming back home we saw two young ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their elation.
