Wrong Fuel in Car Thornbury - Petrol in Diesel Car Thornbury

I'd had a wonderful afternoon hiking during my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I set out to aid a new couple on holiday. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their Thornbury, and they were roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife berating her partner for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this takes place constantly and that it's truly nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Poor guy. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved so long and thought about what my missus would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
