Evidence: | 'Very few people appeared to be out, in fact it seemed like Sunday in the High Road, I called in a snack bar, ordered a cup of tea and a packet of cigarettes, I was the only customer at the time, and the waiter seemed reluctant to put down the newspaper he was reading to serve, I remarked it was a bad day, he agreed and said that some people would lose a lot of money as a result of it.' |
