Where are the British men to correct this travesty?
Sadly, it 'appears' that Mrs. Lake's husband remained in the car during this series of events. From the Bristol Evening Post:
****************************
No mention is made of the husband thereafter, and all statements pertaining to the incident are in the form of first-person singular....never "my husband and I",only "I".
From this it "appears" that Mr. Lake remained in the car.
