1
2 Q. Right. The meetings they went for on a couple of hours on
3 most occasions. Yes?
4 A. Generally, yes.
5
6 Q. So where your notes extend to only one page and part of
7 that is description, we can take it from that that none of
8 the rest of the discussion you recollected as being
9 something worth making a note of?
10 A. It would probably be when McDonald's was not discussed
11 or minimally discussed and nothing of particular
12 importance.
13
14 MR. MORRIS: Mr. Rampton said, when he went to look at a meeting
15 in March and you had noted that it was the first meeting
16 that you had been to that you had seen me at. Do you
17 remember when he asked the question?
18 A. The first one, yes.
19
20 Q. And that is your recollection, is it?
21 A. If that is what my notes say.
22
23 Q. It is entirely based on your notes?
24 A. That would be correct, yes.
25
26 Q. Can you remember at this length of time any specific
27 meeting where people were sitting, that kind of thing?
28 A. Within the room?
29
30 Q. Yes?
31 A. Where the meetings were held?
32
33 Q. I mean, what I am saying is at this length of time, you
34 have got your notes but it does not say where people were
35 sitting?
36 A. No.
37
38 Q. But is there any particular meeting where you can remember,
39 "Oh yes, so and so was there and were sitting there", kind
40 of thing?
41 A. No, I do not remember particularly where people sat.
42 There was limited seating in the room.
43
44 Q. To say the least. What I mean is, you have not got any
45 kind of photographic memory where you can remember
46 specifics?
47 A. I can recall the room and I can recall the layout of
48 the room, but as to where people sat on a particular
49 occasion, no, I can't.
50
51 Q. Right. So you have not got in your mind any particular
52 bits where you can say, "Oh yes, I remember I was sitting
53 there and then there was three or four people sitting there
54 and someone was sitting there"?
55 A. No, I can't. I recall the first ones got the
56 comfortable seats and that was it.
57
58 Q. So it was a general impression?
59 A. It was a general impression. People sat where they
60 could.
