       1      were occupied by the restaurant?
       2      A.  The top floor was crew room and that type of thing.
       3
       4 Q.   Where did you do your cola watering?
       5      A.  In what we call multiplex room.
       6
       7 Q.   You did not do it by low calibration?
       8      A.  No.
       9
      10 Q.   You did it by pouring water into the tanks?
      11      A.  That is correct.
      12
      13 Q.   Then 7 on this page says: "Shakes too thick."  Do you see
      14      that?
      15      A.  Yes.
      16
      17 Q.   Then turn please to page 39 ----

      19 MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I understand, Mr. Rampton, how shakes
      20      could be too thick if there is no mixing actually done?
      21      I am not talking about watering down, just the mix.
      22
      23 MR. RAMPTON:  You will have to ask the witness, my Lord.  I do
      24      not know.
      25
      26 MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will then.  How can shakes become too
      27      thick?
      28      A.  The process that the shake mix goes through, it goes
      29      into chambers where it is frozen and then the ice
      30      particles are actually taken off.
      31
      32 Q.   I understand that, but how does it make it too thick?
      33      A.  If for any reason the temperature is too high,
      34      I cannot remember the reason now, but there were a number
      35      of reasons that could mean that when you pulled the mix at
      36      the other end it would be too thick, if there was not
      37      enough syrup in it to thin it down.  There were a number
      38      of reasons that would mean that the shake mix at the end
      39      would be too thick or too runny. It could be a number of
      40      reasons that would do it.  I cannot remember what they all
      41      were now, but there were a number of options that it could
      42      actually be.
      43
      44 Q.   What happens if you use re-run the following day?  Did it
      45      evaporate a little overnight?
      46      A.  It does.  That is why we would only ever use it at a
      47      busy period.  Because of the fact that it had been used
      48      before you did not want it.  It would not actually -- if
      49      you put it in first thing in the morning you would not get
      50      a good shake first thing in the morning because you needed
      51      the raw mix in there, but in a busy period where it would
      52      be pumped through very, very quickly, that is why it would 
      53      be done then.
      54
      55 Q.   Did I understand you to say it was only the re-run which
      56      was watered?
      57      A.  It was he re-run which was watered.  Occasionally mix
      58      would be added to it as well.  Normally it would be the
      59      re-run.
