I had a terrific day golfing during my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple on holiday in Childwick Green. They had conked out after adding diesel in their wife's Volkswagen Touareg 2, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this goes on continuously in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, but he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel.
