     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  If you look, you use the phrase "wash
     2        up room" but they mean the same to you, do they?
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:   The wash up room or the back room, whatever you
     6        want to call it, is around the corner from the kitchen; is
     7        that right?
     8        A.  Not directly, no.
     9
    10   Q.   Is it kind of L shaped ---
    11        A.  Yes.
    12
    13   Q.   -- like one end of the kitchen is attached to the wash up,
    14        sorry, back room, the other end would be around the corner?
    15        A.  It is not around the corner, no, but it is an L shape,
    16        but the bit is very short because you have lift at the very
    17        end and the back -- the freezer is right on the corner,
    18        next to where Melanie was working.
    19
    20   Q.   The freezer was next to where she had the accident?
    21        A.  Well, directly behind.
    22
    23   Q.   Right.  In front of the freezers are the chicken vats?
    24        A.  No, at the side.
    25
    26   Q.   At the side; perhaps it depends which way you are looking
    27        at it, sorry.  Did you read Melanie O'Riordon's statement
    28        before you made your statement?
    29        A.  Did I read Melanie -- no.
    30
    31   Q.   You did not read her statement before you made yours?
    32        A.  No.
    33
    34   Q.   Were you told what she had said in her statement?
    35        A.  No.
    36
    37   Q.   You were not told?
    38        A.  No.
    39
    40   Q.   Have you read her statement since?
    41        A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   When did you first read her statement?
    44        A.  On 26th September.
    45
    46   Q.   So only a couple of weeks ago?
    47        A.  Yes.
    48
    49   Q.   That was after you made your second statement, was it?
    50        A.  Before. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Before you made your second statement? 
    53        A.  I think it is before.  I am not sure.
    54
    55   Q.   The second statement was made on 17th September.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  The second statement is dated
