I don't believe there has been "mishandling" - that was what some do-gooder reported! This was a case of ignoring the situation........... To lighten the load (and not ignore the enourmity of the situation) - spoke to (sober) Yvonne to-day: Me: Yvonne, why were you so drunk in Arnold St yesterday? I had to drag you out of the road because you were about to be run over. Y: That man in the blue gave me the drink Me: But YOU drank it Yvonne Y: I was thirsty Me: But then you can drink water Y: Ag, then I will really die.............
