The least he could do was to buy a suit that fitted him!

I'm expecting some barbed comments on his memory from the core participants reps.

He probably could not recall his measurements.

The words don't mean that. I meant them to say something else.

Mr Beer is great - I do think I've noticed a small 'chuckle' whenever he says 'Womble Bond Dickinson' biggrin Anyone else agree?
I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hold my composure to say it - Also how do the various KC's keep cool when the witness is clearly lying and obfuscating?
Rivetting stuff indeed.

The old police officer to avoid lying phrase. "I cannot recall" not "I can't remember" when they can.

Watch for the switch from one to the other when they want to avoide the truth.

He can recall exactly when he was on "sabattical", but can't recall anything else...

Anything in the negative is crystalline. Everything else is in his memory black hole

All the witnesses have the same boilerplate apology. They have clearly all been in training for their appearances. Flemington dropped the ball on both being no help at all before he gave the apology and then saying he hoped he had helped, and in revealing that he knew what was in someone else's bundle.

It will be interesting to see if anyone does any digging to find out if that email has been shown previously. I suspect not.

They win by keeping cool, a point is much more effectively made in a cool calm measured manner. The barbs are sometimes subtle, so subtle that the witness is lured into a sense of false security, but you can be sure that Sir Wyn spots every one
