     2   MR. RAMPTON:  No, I think your Lordship is probably -- your
     3        Lordship's papers have got muddled.
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:  I think that paragraph has not got a line between
     6        it.
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  Thank you, Ms. Steel.  I do not know if your
     9        Lordship agrees with me, but the first paragraph I take to
    10        end "ready in time" --
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Well, then it is the second.  I have read
    13        that all as one paragraph for the reason Ms. Steel gave.
    14        Anyway, I have found it now.
    15
    16   MR. RAMPTON:  These paragraphs are not indented.  Then it goes
    17        on, Mr. Gravett:
    18
    19        "As a result, the date for the fayre appears as the 29th
    20        of September instead of the 27th.  It was decided that it
         would be best to alter the leaflets by hand rather than
    22        scrap them."
    23
    24        That is, in fact, exactly what happened, is it not, Mr.
    25        Gravett?
    26        A.   Yes, because as a group they were always concerned not
    27        to waste paper or anything.  I mean, here were 10,000
    28        leaflets, a lot of paper.  We could have easily scrapped
    29        them.  We decided to alter them by hand.
    30
    31   Q.   Do you remember watching that video of the 1990
    32        demonstration on 16th October at East Finchley there were a
    33        lot of shots of people sitting down with pens writing on
    34        the leaflets and what they were doing was altering the
    35        dates, was it not?
    36        A.   It could have been.  I mean, it was not really
    37        possible to tell accurately what they were doing.
    38
    39   Q.   I am wondering whether your memory serves you.  Is that
    40        not, in fact, what they were doing?
         A.  Pardon?
    42
    43   Q.   Is that not, in fact, what they were doing, from your
    44        memory, never mind what you can see on the video?
    45        A.   I honestly do not remember it that clearly.  I mean, I
    46        do not remember seeing myself doing it in the film.
    47
    48   Q.   It was actually a shot of Ms. Steel with a pen in her hand
    49        writing on what appears to be the leaflets.  Do you
    50        remember that, in the video?
    51        A.   Well, I do not, actually, but I take your word for it.
    52
    53   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, whether or not it was any particular
    54        leaflet, do you remember she had something on her knee and
    55        appeared to be writing on it?  Do you remember that bit?
    56        If you don't, you don't.
    57        A.  I do not, actually.  It is the first time I have ever
    58        seen the film.
    59
    60   MR. RAMPTON:  It is not meant to be a memory test, Mr. Gravett.
