It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the golf results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Prestwold and put petrol in a diesel rust red Renault Clio rental car. She was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly.
