Day 071 - 11 Jan 95 - Page 29
1 Q. I do not know whether this is a silly question or not. If
2 you have paid for a take-away meal, can you eat it inside
3 the restaurant or not?
4 A. Yes, we do not stop customers eating inside the
5 restaurant. It is hard to discriminate between a customer
6 who is eating in and taking away.
7
8 Q. Then page 809, 10th May 1994, Dr. Taylor is recorded as
9 having spoken to Alan. Who is Alan?
10 A. He is my first assistant manager.
11
12 Q. So he is your immediate subordinate, is he?
13 A. Yes, he is.
14
15 Q. About some paper outside the store. He blamed
16 inconsiderate people who are irresponsible for that. Alan
17 sent someone out straightaway to sort the situation out.
18 Do you know whether -- well, put it this way, have you any
19 experience of people popping into the store from time to
20 time and saying: "Look, somebody has dropped a load of
21 rubbish outside, can you do something about it"?
22 A. In my experience I have spoken to customers about the
23 problem and what we are doing to combat it, but generally
24 I have had a couple of phone calls, it is normally phone
25 calls, local residents will phone up to say that somebody
26 has dropped something on their doorstep or outside their
27 house.
28
29 Q. Then 810 which is the last document in this file, can you
30 help with it because I am afraid to say I cannot read it
31 well enough to make any real sense of it at all?
32 A. This was at a meeting with Dr. Taylor.
33
34 Q. Is this your writing?
35 A. It is not my writing, no.
36
37 Q. Whose writing is it, do you know?
38 A. I am not 100 per cent sure whose writing it is.
39
40 Q. The first part, in my copy at least, is wholly illegible
41 save that it appears to say "Stacey met Dr. Taylor"?
42 A. Yes.
43
44 Q. Something until later or environment/index.html">litter. Then it has the words:
45 "Dr. Taylor was given the opportunity to commission his
46 own consultants" or "bin consultants"?
47 A. I think it is own consultants.
48
49 Q. Do you know what that was a reference to?
50 A. I think it was Stacey met Dr. Taylor and it was
51 regarding write a letter; it was not the environment/index.html">litter. What it
52 was, he is an engineer and he had come across a company in
53 an article in a magazine about odour control.
54
55 Q. Odour control?
56 A. This is to do with the smell.
57
58 Q. I am sorry then, it is a red herring. It should have been
59 blanked out. I apologise for that. Then at the bottom of
60 the page it says: "environment/index.html">litter" does it or "letter"?
