It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the golf rankings, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Helme hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to find her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain well done in my opinion!
