It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated commenting on the recent football rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage and filled petrol in a diesel St Margarets at Cliffe hire car by mistake. She was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another job done well in my opinion!
