1 looking at environment/index.html">litter.
2
3 Q. In those times that you have been down there, despite the
4 fact that was the purpose of your visit, you do not
5 remember more than once or twice whether there was any
6 McDonald's environment/index.html">litter down there or not?
7 A. That is a guess. I would not want to be committed to
8 that. I am not sure I have seen McDonald's environment/index.html">litter in a lot
9 of places, not just around my restaurant. I mean, I cannot
10 -- sorry, I cannot commit myself on that. I am not 100
11 per cent sure how many times I have seen environment/index.html">litter in that or
12 how much environment/index.html">litter I have seen in that street.
13
14 Q. You have seen McDonald's environment/index.html">litter in a lot of places. Are
15 you talking about in your patch or are you talking about in
16 London generally or what?
17 A. I have seen McDonald's environment/index.html">litter outside McDonald's
18 restaurants on occasions, you know, walking past
19 restaurants.
20
21 Q. Not just your own one, not just the Kings Road one?
22 A. No, because I have seen customers drop it, actually
23 throw environment/index.html">litter on the ground in front of me, you know -----
24
25 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Could you just tell me because it is not at
26 all clear on my copy, beneath Mr. McIntyre's signature
27 there is a date, what is it, in fact?
28
29 MR. RAMPTON: 27th January 1994, my Lord. 27.1.1994.
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Thank you. I am not going to stop you asking
32 any more questions about Smith Street, but since Mr. Stump
33 clearly did not make a record of occasions when he has gone
34 on a environment/index.html">litter inspection of Smith Street, and you are hoping
35 to call someone who actually lives there and, I assume, is
36 going to give some positive evidence about it, you have to
37 think about how far you need to go in testing Mr. Stump's
38 recollection.
39
40 MS. STEEL: Yes. It is more a case of Mr. Stump has a
41 responsibility and finding out whether he has discharged
42 that responsibility, whether he takes it seriously.
43
44 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have said I am not going stop you.
45
46 MS. STEEL (To the witness): What were the conclusions of these
47 checks that you made? What were your conclusions?
48 A. Personally, I know environment/index.html">litter is a problem, not just
49 McDonald's environment/index.html">litter, and it just reinforced the fact that we
50 have to continue to maintain what we were already doing.
51 There was no point in stopping or reducing what we were
52 doing or increasing the area that we cover on the trash
53 walks ---
54
55 Q. You say -- sorry?
56 A. -- or to basically, well, basically I did not feel
57 there was a need for change in the system.
58
59 Q. You say not just McDonald's environment/index.html">litter is a problem; you would
60 recognise that McDonald's environment/index.html">litter is part of the problem?
