Paul and I were seated there talking about the sports, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage and put petrol in her diesel Far Royds rental car. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more job done well in my books!
