     1        of that junction?
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why not point one or two out because
     4        they ----
     5
     6   MS. STEEL:   The Post Office lorry.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me do it, because they are not all, you
     9        see.  What may be an ambulance, a white vehicle, pointing
    10        away from you, which has a lamp post slicing down the
    11        middle of its back -- do you see?
    12        A.  I have that, yes.
    13
    14   Q.   That is in exactly the same position.  The car about to
    15        turn left at the lights just to the nearside of the
    16        ambulance is a different colour, but in exactly the same
    17        position and looks the same shade.
    18        A.  One is red and one looks like black or blue.
    19
    20   Q.   Yes.  The cars about to turn, coming in the other direction
    21        and about to turn right, look as if they are in exactly the
    22        same positions too and look to be the same colour.  That is
    23        what is being put to you.  There are no...  There is one
    24        car coming down the other side, one and a half cars coming
    25        down the other carriageway across the verge from the
    26        ambulance, and they do not appear on the nine o'clock one,
    27        they do not appear on the 7.30 one, but the two vehicles
    28        immediately in front of the...  I call it an ambulance
    29        because it may be an ambulance, the two vehicles in front
    30        of it look exactly the same?
    31        A.  It could very well be, very well be.
    32
    33   Q.   What is being put to you is that...  I will use another
    34        word from 'fake', this is a mock-up with the building put
    35        on but some of the vehicles in exactly the same position,
    36        it is not an actual photo taken at 7.30 a.m. and another
    37        one taken at 9.00 a.m.  That is what is being put to you?
    38        A.  That could be possible, it could be possible.
    39
    40   MR. MORRIS:  Do you not think that is conning people?
    41        A.  No, I think the point being made here is at 7.30 in the
    42        morning there was nothing on a piece of land and an hour
    43        and a half later the first two modules of a building had
    44        been delivered and were in place, and so on and so forth,
    45        it carries on throughout the day.  The relevance of the
    46        first picture as a starting point is not so important.
    47
    48   Q.   So, are you saying that in McDonald's literature there may
    49        appear similar inaccurate material, but it would not bother
    50        you if it did? 
    51        A.  Well, I do not consider that material in any way, shape 
    52        or form -- having witnessed what happens on these sites 
    53        from nothingness to arrival of the modules to the
    54        completion of a building, I have seen it happen in nine
    55        hours, I know what is there is possibly true and happens
    56        every week.  In the United Kingdom today there is nothing
    57        that leads me to believe that could not be replicated this
    58        afternoon in this country, and anywhere else if they had
    59        the technical knowledge.  There is nothing untrue about it.
