     1        confirm that Andy Taylor was there although my memory says
     2        he was.
     3
     4   Q.   Your memory was much strong yesterday when I asked about
     5        it; you were very definite that Andy Taylor was there.  You
     6        said to me something to the effect:  "Well, there were lots
     7        of people in the restaurant who would remember him being
     8        there"?
     9        A.  Perhaps I was referring to Tim Taylor then.  The two
    10        names after a time is quite tricky to remember who was
    11        what.
    12
    13   Q.   Do they look alike?
    14        A.  Not really, no.
    15
    16   Q.   How many times have you met Andy Taylor?
    17        A.  Many times.
    18
    19   Q.   Many times.  So you would be absolutely certain if somebody
    20        as senior as that came all the way down to Colchester to
         ask you to stay on, would you not?
    22        A.  I know Tim Taylor did.
    23
    24   Q.   I see.  The other person whose name you could not remember,
    25        was he called Mike Guerin?
    26        A.  Mike Guerin -- that is it, Mike Guerin.
    27
    28   Q.   Thank you.  Could you have a look, please -- I am sorry
    29        about this; you need a different file for this.  It is the
    30        one which contains your PRs which I think is -----
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I just be reminded again when the Husky
    33        actually came in?
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I think it was 1989 but I cannot give
    36        evidence about that.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  But the Husky came in after you became
    39        Manager?
    40        A.  After, yes.
    41
    42   Q.   Yes.
    43
    44   MR. RAMPTON (To the witness):  Could I ask you, please, to find
    45        your PRs?  I think they are behind your statement,
    46        Mr. Coton, which is in volume II of the Defendants' Witness
    47        Statements which has a pale blue back to it.  It is up at
    48        the top, I think.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  32. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  Tab 32, as his Lordship says.  I will ask you to 
    53        look at a page in a moment, but first of all I want to
    54        remind you -- I will go to the page of the PRs in a moment
    55         -- what you said in your first statement.  I will read it
    56        out so you do not have to bother looking it up.  It is the
    57        second paragraph, unnumbered.  You said:  "I left in August
    58        1990.  I resigned after writing a letter to Head Office
    59        criticising management style at the Company and certain
    60        practices I was expected to sanction or enforce".  You
