This really was what is called the night shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had been quite uneventful so far, and John and I were sitting about looking at a number of old articles. It was an uncommon calm hour. It was that tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I have only just ended my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel Menston in error". We instructed him to let us know exactly where he was and we left, reaching him under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back to base we spotted two girls at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.
