That's not something you expect to read - how shocking for you.

It was soon after 7 am in a secluded lane and of course I thought he was dead (I didn't see the woman at first) and phoned 999. After a long time of trying to locate us, I was told to hammer on a window, which woke them up (eventually). They had been too sleepy to drive and had the engine on for warmth. It was a while before my heart returned to normal beating! I also felt stupid.

Oh good grief, scary but glad all was ok, you did the right thing though Ros.

Thank you mamya

Thanks yet again syzygy, best Harper's puzzle for some time in my opinion even if a tad more difficult without the shaded squares within the grid confirming the expression (though I now note you've provided them here in a subsequent post). Really liked 47a & 13d* though surprised not to see the double definitions at 38a & 41d nor the required abbreviation for 4d given in the latest edition of Chambers (cheers google).
