It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Lower Chedworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's BMW M hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!
