3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Do you have those? Are they still
4 behind your statement? I have left my notes behind the
5 statement.
6 A. OK.
7
8 Q. If you look in (3), you say none of the various things
9 happened while Mark Davis was Manager?
10 A. No.
11
12 Q. And then (6)?
13 A. I have an example for each.
14
15 MS. STEEL: You have a what for each, sorry?
16 A. An example for such.
17
18 Q. An example?
19 A. That I have actually witnessed or -----
20
21 Q. Right. So the position is that when you say that it did
22 not happen during Mark Davis's time as Manager, that is
23 just because you cannot recollect any incidents, seeing any
24 incidents?
25 A. I never saw it happen, no.
26
27 Q. But you did see it happen after Ray Coton became Manager,

36 Q. No. Right.

40 out of the gun, and he merely suggested to me that if I put
41 pickle juice in it, it would aid the dispenser. I had no
42 reason to disbelieve him.
43
44 Q. Well, you have called it a malpractice. So are you saying
45 now that you do not think it was a malpractice?
46 A. At the time I was -- I probably did not; I thought it
47 was a tip more than anything else. But now, as my
48 experience of McDonald's shows, I know it was a
49 malpractice.
50
51 Q. Did you ask Ray Coton about whether he had done it
52 previously and how long it had been going on for, anything
53 like that, when he was showing you how to do it?
54 A. No, I did not.
55
56 Q. You did not discuss it at all?
57 A. No.
58
59 Q. You just assumed it was a normal practice?
60 A. I asked my Manager for help and he showed me the way
