What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to assist an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel Barnside. I had been told she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel because I had only bought it several days ago right after my other car, which I used for over 30 years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful woman!
