    Default Note to self:

    Just because one of the nozzles at a pump is marked 'unleaded', it doesn't automatically follow that the other nozzle delivers diesel.
    It's like a big tide of jam coming towards us, but jam made out of old women.

    What did it deliver? Fire ants? Custard? A fleeting sense of ennui?

    A woman I could understand, but how could a bloke possibly get his nozzles mixed up?

    It's the same as sticking it up a lady's bottom, it takes a few seconds to realise what you have done...and the sh*t you're going to be in

    Yes, but at least it doesn't cost a grand for the clean-up afterwards.

    I could offer up excuses, but that's exactly what they would be; the fact was that I didn't pay enough attention to what I was doing.

    I didn't drive far at all before I parked up (probably used what diesel was in the fuel line), and then it wouldn't restart. Hopefully, a drain and flush should do the trick.

    When I dropped it in to my local garage, they said they get about five a week during summer. One bloke even did it again immediately after they'd drained the first lot.

    And there was me about to write some smart-arse comment like "I bet you won't do that again", only to discover that some people actually do.
