     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, you tell me.  It is a civil court; it is
     3        not a criminal one.
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:   I may get a different answer from the witness if he
     6        knows what the question is leading to.  It is relevant to a
     7        pleaded matter.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, I want you to tell me.  I very nearly
    10        said we have a thousand and one issues already; in
    11        fact  ---
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:   It is something that has been in issue already.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- that is a gross underestimate.  You either
    16        tell me or pass on to something else.
    17
    18   MS. STEEL:   I think I actually asked the question about what it
    19        was related to, but then I got the interruption.
    20
    MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Then there is no harm in telling us.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:   What I said was, "Obviously, one of the spin-offs
    24        to that is that the children become much more aware of the
    25        Company", that is at page 8, line 46.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where are you going from there?
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:   I really do not think it is fair that we are forced
    30        to reveal the line of cross-examination in front of a
    31        witness.
    32
    33   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, in that case you must move on to
    34        something else.  If you are not prepared to tell me, you
    35        must move on to something else.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:   Look, I am virtually there but I just do not
    38        particularly want to say it.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Move on to something else.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:   What it refers to is about advertising, advertising
    43        to children.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I thought it might do that.  We have already
    46        had a lot of evidence about that.  I am not prepared to
    47        have time spent just because someone else comes into the
    48        witness box to go over that kind of ground.
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:  Yes, but we have had a denial that it plays a large 
    51        part of their advertising. 
    52 
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Move on to something else, please.  What are
    54        you doing now, Ms. Steel?
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:  I am making a note of your judgment.
    57        (To the witness):  The training courses that are run for
    58        Managers, you also train Managers of franchise stores; is
    59        that correct?
    60        A.  That is correct, yes.
