What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Monday and I was on my way to help an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel Barnsley. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her family. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just purchased it a few days back when my former car, which I had owned for about thirty years, finally died". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely woman!
