This was the graveyard shift. It was around 3 in the morning and noone was around. It was rather dead so far, and me and Ray were loafing around reading some old articles. This was an uncommon tranquil time. It was so peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I have just ended my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a Priestthorpe by mistake". I asked him to let us know where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. As we were going back to the depot we found two women on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.
