Day 074 - 16 Jan 95 - Page 18


     
     1   Q.   Would summer be a busier time for take-away than winter or
     2        not?
     3        A.  Summer is for take-away, yes, it is busier.
     4
     5   Q.   On a busy Saturday, in the height of summer, the West End
     6        of London over-run with tourists, children on holiday --
     7        let us take the end of July?
     8        A.  Right.
     9
    10   Q.   How many take-away meals do you think then you might be
    11        serving?
    12        A.  It depends; if it is hot outside and it is
    13        air-conditioned inside, people prefer to eat in because as
    14        they are doing sight-seeing or whatever, so they would
    15        prefer to sit inside in a cool environment.  So, I would
    16        not say there is much difference.  It always depends on
    17        restaurant to restaurant.  But, where Kings Road is
    18        concerned, I think there would be a slight variation of
    19        take-away.  It again depends on what kind of customer come
    20        in on that particular day.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The cost is the same, is it, item by item?
    23        A.  To eat in or take-away, my Lord?
    24
    25   Q.   Yes.
    26        A.  No, the cost is different.  Like, on milk shake, if it
    27        is to take-away or milk or ketchups or salads, they are
    28        cheaper to take-away because there is no VAT on it.
    29
    30   Q.   I see.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  When you mentioned milk shakes, that cup you have
    33        there is for coffee.  For example, the large Coca Cola, is
    34        it bigger than that of a cup?
    35        A.  Yes, this is an eight ounce cup.  That is, for milk
    36        shake it is a 16 ounce cup, or large milk shake is 22 ounce
    37        cup.
    38
    39   Q.   Large Coca Cola?
    40        A.  They are exactly the same.
    41
    42   Q.   Look, how about that?
    43        A.  That is a large milk shake, 22 ounce.
    44
    45   Q.   That is half a litre.  It appears to be made of wax paper?
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   Q.   That would have a lid if it was take-away, would it?
    49        A.  Yes, it would and a straw.
    50 
    51   Q.   And a hole for a straw? 
    52        A.  Yes. 
    53
    54   Q.   At a conservative estimate, you have in front of you
    55        something like, including the bag, seven or eight different
    56        items of potential environment/index.html">litter?
    57        A.  Yes, sir.
    58
    59   Q.   Suppose it was seven, if one multiplies 7 by 1500 you have
    60        something like 10,500 potential items of environment/index.html">litter?
