I had a terrific day fishing during my day off and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their Milnthorpe, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation happens regularly and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor guy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
