Day 265 - 19 Jun 96 - Page 53
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Well, yes, but if you are putting it to him
2 positively that was wrong, then do that. It sounds as if
3 you are repeating his evidence when it is not, in fact,
4 what he said, the way you put the matter. Someone
5 listening to what you have just said might think he had
6 said in evidence in-chief that he made the notes in his car
7 or went back to the office. That is the way it came out to
8 me.
9
10 Q. Well, I was asking a question. Did you make your notes in
11 the car or did you make your notes in the office after
12 driving back to the office?
13 A. The notes were made in my car either where it had been
14 parked, or I would drive away from the venue so as not to
15 be seen in my car by anybody in the group. So I would
16 drive a couple of miles away.
17
18 Q. Did you ever go back to the office after meetings or was it
19 you were always making the notes in the car?
20 A. No, I did not. I made them in the car.
21
22 Q. Be it where the car was parked or ten minutes later?
23 A. That is right.
24
25 Q. And you never waited until you had got home? I asked you
26 about the office?
27 A. No.
28
29 Q. But you did not go anywhere else to make them?
30 A. Not that I recall.
31
32 Q. They was always in your car?
33 A. That is correct.
34
35 Q. So it would always be within ten minutes of leaving the
36 meeting?
37 A. Thereabouts, sir.
38
39 Q. Were you basically really only bothering to write down that
40 was said about McDonald's?
41 A. No. It was what happened. Who was there. Primarily
42 obviously with McDonald's; they were the clients as such.
43 But, yes, whatever really took place.
44
45 Q. What, you would try and recall the whole meeting?
46 A. Well, not the whole meeting but pertinent parts of the
47 meeting.
48
49 Q. Right. Which was generally the antiMcDonald's stuff?
50 A. And if that was not discussed, what else?
51
52 Q. If that was not discussed what else? Sorry?
53 A. Whatever else was.
54
55 Q. But you were making a particular effort to get everything
56 down whenever McDonald's was mentioned?
57 A. An effort to recall whatever was discussed,
58 McDonald's.
59
60 Q. And you would make a particular effort to recall what was
