3 MR. MORRIS: Let me see if there is anything else -- the grills,
4 if the RCD system trips out, all the grills become
5 unusable, do they, for the meat?
6 A. It would depend which part of the RCD system -- if the
7 part of the RCD system was specifically covering the grills
8 tripped out, then the grills would be inoperable, yes.

10 Q. So no-one would be able to get a hamburger, basically?
11 A. You cannot get a hamburger, that is right.
12
13 Q. Which is the most popular item, basically?
14 A. Yes, that is right.
15
16 Q. When it did trip out would that be in periods of high
17 electric demands?
18 A. It could be -----
19
20 Q. When did it tend to happen?
21 A. It tended to happen, to be honest, in the mornings
22 rather than in the afternoons because you had all your
23 equipment on and you were firing up ready for the afternoon
24 rush. It was less likely to happen over lunch time.
25
26 Q. So what do you mean, it happens just before lunch time?
27 A. No, well, it would happen generally, if it was going to

44 larger fuse, I think, in the end but ......
45
46 Q. Yes, but what I am saying is that it happened at times when
47 there was a higher electrical demand for whatever reason?
48 A. It could do, yes.
49
50 Q. But that was generally the time it happened?
51 A. It was generally the time that it happened, yes, but it
52 generally had not happened -----
53
54 Q. When there was nothing hardly going on, it did not happen?
55 A. It did not happen in the middle of the night when there
56 was no-one there, no.
57
58 Q. The only way to get the grills going again once they had
59 tripped out would be to remove the trip switch?
60 A. No. It would be to -- you reset -- you could reset the
