     1        association?
     2        A.  I cannot speak on their behalf, but as far as I am
     3        concerned we had done our utmost to make sure that all the
     4        problems were rectified.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What you are being asked is this, and you may
     7        have an answer, you may not, that if the picture was that
     8        on the one hand you were saying, and Mr. Stump has said,
     9        that really McDonald's were making a pretty good shot at
    10        clearing up the environment/index.html">litter and, on the other hand (we will have
    11        to wait and see what the evidence is) that residents were
    12        not happy with the McDonald's environment/index.html">litter situation, what you
    13        are being asked is do you have any explanation yourself for
    14        any such difference of opinion?
    15        A.  No, I do not, my Lord.
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:  Could I ask a couple of questions?  How many
    18        meetings do you remember taking place with Dr. Taylor and
    19        people from head office, formal meetings, not where you
    20        just bumped into him in the street?
    21        A.  I was present at one meeting which took place at Kings
    22        Road.
    23
    24   Q.   You do not know whether that was the February meeting or
    25        the one in February 1993 or the one in November 1992?
    26        A.  I know it was attended by Philip Cobden and the
    27        gentleman which I have given the name, but I do not know
    28        exactly which gentleman that was.
    29
    30   Q.   In the letter on page 780 it says: "At our last meeting you
    31        may recall I asked if you would provide a person to pick up
    32        this rubbish on a full-time basis, as apparently you do in
    33        Norwich.  This would certainly alleviate the situation and
    34        provide a positive McDonald's imagine."  Do you remember
    35        Dr. Taylor bringing that up?
    36        A.  No.
    37
    38   Q.   You do not remember that?
    39        A.  No, I do not.
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  Some McDonald's stores in this country do have
    42        full-time environment/index.html">litter people, is that correct?
    43        A.  I am not aware of that.
    44
    45   Q.   What about some of the drive-throughs?
    46        A.  I have never worked in drive-throughs, so I am not
    47        aware.
    48
    49   Q.   Most of the letters following seem to be after your time.
    50        Yes, if we just go to 781, this is a letter from 
    51        McDonald's? 
    52        A.  That is 3rd November 1993. 
    53
    54   Q.   3rd November 1993 where Mr. Cobden went down to the area,
    55        the last paragraph on page 1, "It was very evident during
    56        my visit that although there was no McDonald's environment/index.html">litter in
    57        the area, there was considerable amount from other
    58        sources", yes?
    59        A.  This letter is after my time.
