Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel Hall Bower. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days ago after my old car, which I used for over twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful woman!
