Stuart when I first got married we were “skint” and when putting petrol in the car it was a max of £1. I remember going a run with my wife and newly born baby girl and running out of petrol. Just by chance my father and mother in law had decided to go a run and passed by us they took the wife and daughter home and me to the garage.
You would have I’d have learned my lesson but no. A few years later heading home from the in laws, I thought I had enough in the tank to get home but didn’t. There is a big hill to get into the village and I was 50m from the top, and its all down hill after that, I ran out of juice. Just as we pulled onto the pavement my mate from school days pulled in behind us and saved the day.
Very lucky on both occasions as we had no breakdown cover, hasn’t happened since lol.
