This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3 in the morning and noone was about. It was quite uneventful thus far, and Ray and I were relaxing looking through a few old magazines. It was an unusual tranquil time. It was indeed that quiet that the moment the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The person said: "I have only just completed my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel Rawthorpe". I asked him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we set off, reaching him not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine. He said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were heading back to base we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

The vehicle was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within an hour whilst she was working. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very happy you fixed my vehicle."
