     1        A.  I do not think that figure is correct but, of course,
     2        I would have to look at the production documents to know
     3        that.  I would say it would be higher than 10 per cent at
     4        that time, but I cannot comment on it accurately.
     5
     6   Q.   You are not sure?
     7        A.  I just said I cannot comment on it accurately.
     8
     9   Q.   So it is possible it could be 10 per cent but it is
    10        possible it could be more?
    11        A.  Yes.
    12
    13   Q.   Was the second paragraph correct at that time?
    14        A.  No, because we would be taking some fresh meat from the
    15        Continent.
    16
    17   Q.   Which parts of the Continent?
    18        A.  Well, it could be Germany; it could be France; it could
    19        be Holland.
    20
    21   Q.   But the rest of paragraph is correct, is it?
    22        A.  Yes.
    23
    24   Q.   Can you turn over the page?  Can you read the first
    25        paragraph and confirm whether or not that is correct?
    26        A.  No, the percentages are wrong.
    27
    28   Q.   At that time would they be right, this is 1991?
    29        A.  No.
    30
    31   Q.   No.  So, what would the percentages be?
    32        A.  About 10 per cent frozen.
    33
    34   Q.   10 per cent frozen?
    35        A.  Yes.
    36
    37   Q.   Is the third sentence correct?
    38        A.  Yes.
    39
    40   Q.   So when it says:  "Meat from up to four suppliers will go
    41        into each batch", is that each combo or is that something
    42        different?
    43        A.  No, each batch.
    44
    45   Q.   Batch of burgers?
    46        A.  Yes, in each mixing batch.
    47
    48   Q.   Does the McKey plant usually shut down over Christmas?
    49        A.  Over the Christmas holidays, yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   For 10 days or so? 
    52        A.  It does.  Sometimes it did not; this last Christmas. 
    53
    54   Q.   Did it in 1990?
    55        A.  I would think it did, yes.
    56
    57   Q.   When that happens, is it right that the stock gets built up
    58        beforehand?
    59        A.  The finished product stock?
