     1   Q.   -- at which you were told to water down -- I am using the
     2        words you used this morning as well as I can read my note
     3         -- told to surreptitiously add water to the milk shake mix
     4        and to the drink syrups in busy periods; is that right?
     5        A.  That is right.
     6
     7   Q.   That is your evidence.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I have put "to the mix in the back of the
    10        shake machine and to the drink syrups"; is that right?
    11        A.  Yes, that is correct.
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  That is where the shake mix goes, is it?
    14        A.  Yes, that is right.  There is a reservoir there.
    15
    16   Q.   You put in, I think, about a gallon and a half, do you not,
    17        in the back?
    18        A.  I am not sure.
    19
    20   Q.   You are not sure?
    21        A.  It is a fairly large tank.
    22
    23   Q.   Yes.  They came, did they not, in gallon containers?
    24        A.  Yes, they did.
    25
    26   Q.   The container at the back of the milk shake machine would
    27        take more than one of the containers in which they arrived
    28        in the store, would it not?
    29        A.  From memory, I think it took two.
    30
    31   Q.   How much water was it suggested you should add to the shake
    32        mix during busy periods?
    33        A.  A bucketful, basically.
    34
    35   Q.   A bucketful.  So, what, the idea was, according to you
    36        then, was something like this; you would try to water it
    37        down by nearly 100 per cent or at least 50 per cent; is
    38        that right?
    39        A.  No, not that much.
    40
    41   Q.   A bucket?
    42        A.  A small tin bucket.
    43
    44   Q.   The milk shake mixture is viscous, is it not?
    45        A.  Yes.
    46
    47   Q.   A bit like condensed milk?
    48        A.  Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   In the milk shake machine there is, I think it is, a 
    51        cylinder, is it not, which has got iced crystals or 
    52        slithers in it, has it not? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   Blades which turn round so as to make the shake of the
    56        required thickness?
    57        A.  Yes, that is right.
    58
    59   Q.   It is refrigerated, is it not?
    60        A.  Yes, that is right.
