This was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather dead until now, and me and Mark were relaxing browsing a number of old articles. This was a rare calm hour. It was indeed that quiet that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The person on the other end stated: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lidget Green". We asked him to tell us exactly where he was and we set off, reaching him under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. While we were heading back home we noticed two girls at the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.
