Slapfish I am done with this discussion. We can agree to differ on why those who heard the tape thought that Patsy had some difficulty in replacing the receiver.

Q. Q1Can you hear any effort on the tape to try to hang the phone up, Q2a banging or a Q3tapping or Q4anything of that nature?

A. The call obviously concludes with the line disconnecting but, no, not that I recall today without listening to the tape of the phone banging.

Which question was Thomas saying he didn't recall the answer to?

Q1 - Whether there was effort in replacing the receiver?
Q2 - Whether there was a banging noise?
Q3 - Whether there was a tapping noise?
Q4 - Whether there was any as yet unspecified noise?

Four questions and one reply. It isn't clear which point he is responding to and you are very welcome to ASS-U-ME you understand what is being answered here. The only thing that is clear is that Thomas referred to 'the tape of the phone banging'. So if you think he is saying that there is no phone banging on the tape of the phone banging, feel free.

I shall reserve judgement on the tape and what can and can't be heard - either on normal version or enhanced version - until I hear it for myself or an independednt expert witness comments.
