It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining!

Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage and put petrol in her diesel Crockham Hill rental car. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the lady swiftly.
