This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing around reading a few old articles. That was an uncommon quiet time. It was indeed that relaxing that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the opposite end told me: "I've just ended my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the Horsforth". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, reaching him only 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he said many thanks for getting there so fast. As we were returning to base we noticed two ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, much to their delight.
