Motor Mouse!

Today our carpark in the forest was assailed by a pungent smell of diesel, overcoming the natural scent of tree turpines. After a sniff around my colleague discovered a white Skoda leaking fuel from the engine into a spreading puddle  and a worried looking owner with her head under the bonnet..
A cursory glance showed evidence of tiny teeth marks up and down the fuel pipe. The AA was called and arrived in exemplary time to replace the shredded rubber. 
As a team we used the incident to hone up our skills in dealing with pollutants, using an oil spill-kit to make sure the fluid was contained and removed and did not get into forest area or creep towards a waterway.  But at the back of our minds passed the thought, somewhere there is a mouse that has found the secret of running very fast indeed
