     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is some documentation with regard to
     2        the candle lit supper?
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   Q.   And some in relation to the licensing application.
     6
     7   MS. STEEL:   Can you find the Smith Street Residents
     8        Association, it is headed note paper and it is:  "Join us
     9        for dinner at McDonald's", please?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Can you just explain how this dinner party came about?  You
    13        did start to explain.
    14        A.  Basically, we had a meeting.  The reason I wanted to
    15        have a dinner party is so I could invite the people and
    16        just open the communication channels.
    17
    18   Q.   So it was your proposal and then Linda Wells drew up this
    19        invitation and delivered it round to the residents; is that
    20        right?
    21        A.  This was, I believe, to be a covering letter for my
    22        invitation which was on an invitation card.
    23
    24   Q.   Is there a copy of that invitation card in with these
    25        documents?
    26        A.  No, there is not but I might have it at home --
    27        I should have it.
    28
    29   Q.   According to the second paragraph of this, after the
    30        October Smith Street Residents Association, the Secretary
    31        wrote to you, yourself, to tell you about the increasing
    32        amount of street environment/index.html">litter.  He called the Secretary the next
    33        day and said that a new environment/index.html">litter bin would be placed at the
    34        corner, etc., and that you would contact the Council for
    35        permission to sponsor more environment/index.html">litter bins and you would
    36        increase the frequency of the environment/index.html">litter patrol.
    37
    38        You do not still have a copy of the letter from the
    39        Residents Association, do you, complaining about the
    40        increasing amount of street environment/index.html">litter?
    41        A.  Which letter are you referring to?
    42
    43   Q.   The one that is referred in the second paragraph.
    44        A.  Yes, I am looking at it -- the original?
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It says the Secretary wrote to you.
    47        Ms. Steel is asking you whether you still have a copy of
    48        the letter which was written to you?
    49        A.  No, I do not.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:  What did you do with the letter? 
    52        A.  I do not know whether it was a letter or a telephone 
    53        call, because what I remember is talking to her over the
    54        telephone.  I contacted her over the telephone.  So, that
    55        telephone number must have come from the letter.  And once
    56        you answer the complaint basically, that goes into the file
    57        and then after a year I think basically people, they just
    58        destroy .....
    59
    60   Q.   Why were these other documents saved then?
