This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It was quite quiet until now, and Brian and I were sitting about looking through some old magazines. This was a rare tranquil moment in Hertfordshire. It was indeed that relaxing that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone said: "I have only just completed my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel apricot Hyundai in error". I got him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we set off, reaching him in Hitchin no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were returning to the office we spotted two women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.
