This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30am and nobody was around. It had become quite dead until now, and me and Brian were loafing around looking at a couple of old papers. It was a rare peaceful moment. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The customer said: "I just completed my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the Whins Wood by mistake". We got him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, ending up half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks a lot for getting there so fast. While we were going back home we saw two young women at the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their delight.
