It was after eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Shotts and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and much less apprehensive.
