1 holding time?
2 A. They will cool down a little from when they are cooked,
3 obviously, but we like to serve them hot and fresh.
4
5 Q. I put it to you that the big burgers come in polystyrene
6 because they look more prestigious and it is all part of
7 the same thing about the image?
8 A. No, they are sold in polystyrene boxes so that we can
9 serve the sandwich hotter and fresher and it is more
10 presentable. If you get a three-layered Big Mac in a wrap,
11 it moves around in the wrap; it does not move around
12 anywhere near as much in a box.
13
14 Q. What you were saying about heat is rubbish, is it not,
15 because the smaller ones would actually cool down quicker
16 than the bigger ones?
17 A. The smaller ones do not have chilled sauces dispensed
18 on to them.
19
20 Q. If that is a problem, why not warm up your sauces before
21 use?
22 A. I do not think hygienically or from a food safety point
23 of view that would be a very clever thing to do.
24
25 Q. The rainforest policy, who drew up the rainforest policy?
26 A. It was not me -- in the US, the UK?
27
28 Q. Was it drawn up in the US or the UK?
29 A. The rainforest policy, I believe, originated in
30 Europe. Where it was actually drawn up, I do not know.
31 I was not responsible for that.
32
33 Q. You have had no input in that?
34 A. I was not responsible for drawing it up. I knew of it.
35
36 Q. But did you have any input?
37 A. Indirectly, I suppose, but not directly.
38
39 Q. So what was your input?
40 A. My input was really to ensure that the UK supplier did
41 not purchase beef from rainforest areas.
42
43 Q. Right. That is the end effect of the policy, presumably.
44 What about the actual process of drawing it up? What was
45 your input in that?
46 A. Well, it is a constituent part of the policy and you
47 said, where was my input. That is where it was.
48
49 Q. Did you attend any meetings that drafted it?
50 A. No.
51
52 Q. Or approved it or anything like that?
53 A. No.
54
55 MR. MORRIS: You are responsible for the Communications
56 Department. You know Mike Love?
57 A. I do. I hired Mike Love.
58
59 Q. So he is answerable to you?
60 A. He is a Department Head for Communications.
