Says Hugh: "It was the breakdown truck driver who had himself broken down and asked if I could help.
"He asked me to get in the cab and turn the starter while he disappeared under the bonnet. When he shouted 'Now!' I turned the starter and the engine burst into life. Result: one happy breakdown man – until I mentioned my call-out charge of £60. At that he was gone."
