Dan and me were relaxing discussing the sports results, prepared for the next call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage and put petrol in a diesel Northfleet rental in error. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle!

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing on my holiday and felt contented the next day as I set off to aid a young couple who were on vacation. They stopped after adding diesel into their Northfleet, and they were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this occurs constantly and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never live it down!

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It was rather dead thus far, and Mark and I were sitting about browsing a number of old articles. This was a rare tranquil time. It was so tranquil that the instant the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I completed my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the Northfleet by mistake". We asked him to let us know where the car was located and we headed out, reaching him less than an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were going back to the office we noticed two young women at the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.
