2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, no, just pause a moment. You are going
3 to have lots of opportunity to ask him questions.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: No, it is just while we are looking at it.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I appreciate, but you can come back to it.
8 If we do not follow the normal form, it descends into a
9 discussion; that is the only reason why.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: That is the one, Mr. Brown, that I have called
12 Pilkington ------
13
14 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you hand that to Ms. Steel and
15 Mr. Morris, please?
16
17 MR. MORRIS: This is a different one?
18
19 MR. RAMPTON: No, that is the 1988 one.
20
21 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, that is the beige one of the two kinds
22 which were in use in 1988, if I have it right?
23 A. No. The Company that made that tile, Pilkington, they
24 used to make a tile which was called a pin head reference
25 33. That was the one that was laid at Epsom. This tile
26 that I am showing you now is another tile that they have
27 made, but I brought it along to show that there is this
28 non-slip property inherent in the tile as well.
29
30 MR. RAMPTON: This is similar to the one which was used at
31 Epsom?
32 A. It is similar in that it had the characteristic of
33 being a non-slip tile.
34
35 Q. The last thing, Mr. Brown, if you would not mind just
36 glancing at the plan -- there is only one question I want
37 to ask about it -- you will see or you know that some areas
38 on it are shaded ---
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. -- with sort of dapple graphite effect, if I can call it
42 that?
43 A. Yes.
44
45 Q. Are those the areas you were describing earlier that would
46 be covered with a specific non-slip material?
47 A. Yes, that is correct.
48
49 Q. Finally this: Are all kitchens now designed in the same
50 way, or are there some which have non-slip flooring, for
51 example, Altro all over them?
52 A. Can you repeat that?
53
54 Q. Sorry, it was a bad question. Are all restaurants designed
55 in this way now with only an area that is non-slip rather
56 than particular pieces of equipment, or are there some
57 restaurants which still have a complete covering, let us
58 say, maybe Altro, of non-slip material?
59 A. Yes, there are a few still in the system, yes, that
60 have the complete surface of the safety floor.
