Invoice 149
180.This was an item in the sum of £71.37 for joinery. Mr Woodall was asked how and why this item had been allowed back in, given that it related to softwood archways which meant that it was probably related to the outside beer store. Although Mr Woodall said that he thought that this softwood may have been painted in the main restaurant, he was unable to relate this to the invoice. Having agreed that the item was to be deleted, it was not clear to me why he was seeking to add it back. I therefore refuse this item on the evidence.vii)
