As Carinthia so rightly says, bluddy 'ell. Fingers crossed and tenters hitched here.
Sudden Daughter is aptly named.

She isn’t going to start until she is on the level no matter what, so a can full of fuel and then a tow from Mini up onto the road is what is happening. That Bird is getting the can filled now. No, has just got the can filled, got home and is setting up the tow-rope.
There is probably about a hundred miles’ worth of fuel in Skoda, but on the slope it doesn’t get into the right place.

Stage one complete: Gallant Little Mini has pulled Glorious Skoda up onto the flat, and the towing-eye will be removed from Mini again before we do anything else.
Now we cross fingers that Skoda will start.

No joy. She now says oil pressure low – which happens when she isn’t happy about the fuel. sigh

Garage man says, "So long as there is oil in there, just try cranking her every five minutes or so until she starts and ignore the oil-warnings; they don;t mean anything except “you have been cranking for too long.” And she has plenty of oil.
Meanwhile, Stena Line are cagey; all they say about the ship is “departed”.
vesselfinder.com on the other hand show one exactly where she is, and how fast she is going on what heading. This is helpful!

Having near-drained the Škoda battery, we jumped her from the Mini, and that finally got us somewhere. That Fish is orf to get more fuel.

Twellers, I want it all. All your bakes are belong to me.
There is one drawback. Overindulged in last night’s soda bread and I am one of the tedious people who can’t take too much wheat. It was Too Much, it turns out. Grooogh. Wanna caramel square and half a fruitcake and Dacent Protestant Traybakes (but not the ones wiv dedicated coconut: the Devil’s Dandruff, that)
You have been a busy Twells. AttaTwellers.
