1 Q. Do you remember a crew member called, I think it is, Andrew
2 Wilson?
3 A. Yes, I vaguely remember him.
4
5 Q. Do you remember anything about him?
6 A. I remember him not being a particularly good crew
7 member.
8
9 Q. The last thing I think I need to ask you about, Mr. Sexton,
10 is this: Do you remember anything at East Ham -- we were
11 told by Mr. Sutcliffe that it was the summer of 1987; that
12 may or may not be correct -- to do with mouse droppings in
13 the buns?
14 A. The restaurant did have a problem at one stage with
15 mice. It was caused by a local building or local building
16 work being completed.
17
18 Q. A local?
19 A. Local building work.
20
21 Q. What, going on next door or something?
22 A. Yes, well, there was road works, if I remember
23 correctly.
24
25 Q. I see. That seemed to release mice into the environment,
26 as it were?
27 A. Yes.
28
29 Q. How did this problem manifest itself in the restaurant?
30 A. There was a number of mice caught within the
31 restaurant.
32
33 Q. Mice caught?
34 A. Yes.
35
36 Q. Who caught them?
37 A. Rentokil.
38
39 Q. Who called Rentokil?
40 A. It could be myself or another Manager.
41
42 Q. When was the problem first noticed, how long before
43 Rentokil were called in?
44 A. I could not actually say but, I mean, obviously as soon
45 as the first incident would be noticed, then Rentokil would
46 have been called.
47
48 Q. Mr. Sutcliffe alleges in his statement, as I expect you
49 noticed, that there were mouse droppings often found in the
50 bun trays. Do you have a comment about that?
51 A. I would not say they were often found but, obviously,
52 any trays like that, the whole tray would be discarded.
53
54 Q. The whole tray?
55 A. Yes.
56
57 Q. Mr. Sutcliffe says that you would only throw an individual
58 bun that had a dropping on it away?
59 A. No, it would be the tray.
