2 Q. But there are no note of it in your notes, and you did say
3 you would have made a note of it had, you know, had I been
4 doing something particularly noteworthy. I mean, you have
5 got Mr. Morris talking about the business side of things,
6 but there is no note about anything else that was said by
7 anybody.
8 A. No specific item, no.
9
10 Q. Bearing in mind you were specifically looking out for what
11 myself and Mr. Morris were doing?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. Would you basically agree that what is in paragraph 7 and 8
15 is -- well, it is not from -- is an assumption, or
16 something, that you have made?
17 A. No, there is no assumption. That is the impression
18 that I had at the time.
19
20 Q. But we are talking about three years later, because it was
21 not in your notes and it was not until three years later
22 that you made your statement?
23 A. Yes, I agree.
24
25 Q. So what was the impression from?
26 A. My impression from, in that case, my memories at the
27 time of the occasion.
28
29 Q. Could you say that it was a memory of that specific meeting
30 or it might have been other meetings?
31 A. There is somewhere -- this 7 and 8, or 8 in particular,
32 there is somewhere a report that talks about the design of
33 the leaflet in particular, and I cannot see it in the notes
34 for 2nd August.
35
36 Q. Unless maybe it is the part that is blanked out under
37 number 4. (Pause)

39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: There you are. You have made your point. We
40 have nothing in the notes we have seen that is more or less
41 a contemporaneous record of that.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: Can I ask a question? I seem to have the -----
44
45 MS. STEEL: At the time when you made your statement, you would
46 have been asked for specific recollections about myself and
47 Mr. Morris, because we were the only people against whom
48 the action was proceeding at that time?
49 A. Yes.
50
51 Q. Was it generally the case that people who had not been to
52 very many meetings would not really tend to say a lot?
53 I mean, they might say bits and pieces, like you said
54 something, but, generally, until people sort of found their
55 feet, they would not really say much?
56 A. Yes, I would say that is probably true.
57
58 Q. Incidentally, the list that you have referred to of
59 organisations to be present at the fair, you say, was
60 prepared by Charlie and Jane?
