At approximately 2:30 pm Monday September 9 Richard
Redacted recieved a telephone call at his desk in the
Redacted offices within the ITTC building of Tamar Science Park. The call was originated by
Redacted, the senior receptionist at the ITTC, but she introduced herself as "The Science Park liason officer for getting people together". During a brief and awkward telehpone conversation Mr
Redacted was reminded of, and asked his opinion of a recently departed junior receptionist called
Redacted. He was lead to believe that
Redacted would appreciate a call from him, and would be ameneable to the idea of a personal rendezvous. Mr
Redacted agreed to call her, and was supplied with the number of
Redacted's mobile telephone
[Note1].

Mr
Redacted worked for the rest of the afternoon on the development of a software product called "CONTROLSITE". He left work at approximately 5:30pm and arrived at his own residence
[Note2] at approximately 5:55. He then spent approximately 1 hour devising a way to carry his guitar
[note3] on the motorcycle[note4] that he had borrowed for his commuting.

At approximately 7:00pm Mr
Redacted rang the mobile telephone number which he had been given earlier in the day, ascertained that he was speaking with
Redacted, and introduced himself.
Redacted was immediately embarrased, and appologetic for his having been encouraged to call her. Despite her embarassement and some retisance she agreed to meet with Mr
Redacted for a drink and a chat. Upon a discussion of their various schedules it became apparent that the most convenient time for them to meet would be that very evening. Mr
Redacted then wrote down a brief set of directions which lead from the foot of the Saltash bridge
[Note5] to
Redacted's family abode
[Note6].
[Note 5

Mr
Redacted informed
Redacted that he would change his clothes and make himself a snack, and expected to arrive at approximately 8:00pm. In fact Mr
Redacted ate a small quantity of cheese, and 2 thick slices of chorizo. He ironed and donned a pair of trousers and a shirt and then refeitted the acoustic matting and rear seats to his car
[Note7]. He made a cursory attempt to clean dust and rusty water stains from the rubber footwell mats with a rag moistned with WD40. He refitted the mats, filled the car with petrol, and departed towards Saltash.

In the direction towards Cornwall the Saltash bridge required no toll payment, or passport control stops. Mr
Redacted followed the directions that he had written down and pulled up outside
Redacted's house at approximately 7:55pm. Upon ringing the doorbell he heard
Redacted's voice inform some other occupants of the house that she was going out, that she would see them later, and not to bite anybody
[Note8].
[Note 8
The latter coment at least was probably directed toward the parrot which also resides at that address.]
Redacted was dressed in a tight fitting light coloured top, and low waisted, very tight fitting jeans which laced up where a fly would traditionally be fitted. She is relatively short
[Note9] with light, nearly blond hair. She is generally slim apart from archbishops
[Note10][Note11].
[Note 9
She had within the last few months encountered a Great Dane that was taller than she was.

Mr
Redacted drove himself and
Redacted to "The Holland Inn" following her directions. During the time they spent there they consumed
- 2 bottles of Smirnoff Ice
- 2 pints of Bass shandy
- a soda-water with lime
- and an orange juice.
They discussed at some length the chain of events which had lead them to be there, along with various items from popular culture and anecdotes from their lives.
It transpired that Mr
Redacted had found
Redacted personable and very attractive throughout her employment at Tamar Science Park, but was under the impression that
Redacted was considerably less interested in him. In fact
Redacted was deeply taken with Mr
Redacted, but felt unable to inform him. She had confided in her colleagues and her mother of her desire towards him, and had often hoped that she would find the right opportunity, and the nerve to say something to him. Mr
Redacted had seriously considered before eventually rejecting the idea of inviting
Redacted out for a meal to celebrate her birthday
[note12] several weeks previously. It became clear that
Redacted would have been almost certain to have accepted such an invitation.
[Note 12
23rd]
The first reference to popular culture of the evening was
Redacted's question to Mr
Redacted of whether he has seen, and if he had enjoyed the film "Moulin Rouge". He answered that he had seen it, and that he didn't like it in the least, and in fact he considered that Baz Luhrman
[note13] owed him two hours of his life back.
Redacted was obviously non-plussed by his views, saying that she judged all people on how they liked that particular film, and that Mr
Redacted might as well leave now. Happily her views of Mr
Redacted seemed to improve slightly as the evening progressed.
[Note 13

During the time they spent at "The Holland Inn"
Redacted was often embarrassed, and awkward in conversation. At one stage during a discussion of "The Graduate"
[note14] Mr
Redacted suggested that
Redacted might like to view the film version at his house, in Response
Redacted spilled a good proportion of her drink down the front of her top before sheepishly accepting the invitation.
[Note 14
Mr Redacted had lent Redacted the novel "The Graduate" during her employment at Tamar science Park.]
The pair left the bar after 3 drinks and took a short, and essentially unrewarding drive through the unlit Cornish countryside. They then stopped the car outside Wearde School
[note15][note16] where they admired the view of the Tamar Valley
[note17] and discussed directions to Mr
Redacted's place of residence.
[Note 15

It was agreed that
Redacted would attend Mr
Redacted's house the next evening to watch "The Graduate" and to continue the process of aquainting themselves with one another.
During the evening, physical contact was limited to a dig in the ribs (delivered by Mr
Redacted) to punctuate a particularly weak pun, and a brief peck (on the lips) as Mr
Redacted helped
Redacted from the car outside her house.
