The pickup lorry driver groaned as a call came in to rescue a stranded motorist. He donned his Hi-Viz waterproofs. It wasn't very nice weather outside. The pickup was only 8 miles away as the seagull flies, but the coastline was so convoluted that the distance he had to take was more like 30. To his horror he glanced at the fuel gauge to realise he wasn't going to make the whole journey. The irony hit him hard as he rounded the head of yet another frith and the gauge read empty. He pulled in to a layby before the engine would fritz. The phone signal in the region was so intermittent that he had to climb the steep hill to report his predicament. It would be a long night!
