     1        A.  These documents?  They are for myself.  It is for
     2        references or it is a complimentary letter, and I am sure
     3        everybody likes to keep if there is anything good about.
     4
     5   Q.   So you have kept the ones that give you happy memories but
     6        not the ones that are complaints?
     7        A.  No, complaints basically you deal with them right away
     8        there and then.  I would not keep a letter of complaint and
     9        I put it in my folder.  Basically, I would not do so.  All
    10        my (indecipherable) and letters of appreciations or
    11        letters, they go in my folder.
    12
    13   Q.   The second paragraph seems to indicate not just one or two
    14        straws or small items but that they see it as a serious
    15        problem; is that something that you remember?
    16        A.  You are suggesting that I said that we would sponsor
    17        the environment/index.html">litter bins?
    18
    19   Q.   No, I am talking about the second paragraph of the letter.
    20        A.  OK.  Right.  As far as I am concerned, there was, apart
    21        from these couple of personalities which I have mentioned,
    22        nobody contacted me.  And the reason again for the dinner
    23        was that I have, people feel free to come and walk into
    24        McDonald's and tell me what the problem was, rather than
    25        they have to wait for the secretary or the chairman of any
    26        Residents Association to make a contact.
    27
    28   Q.   The environment/index.html">litter bin that was placed on the corner of Kings Road
    29        and Smith street within 30 minutes, where did that come
    30        from?
    31        A.  That, initially, that was my own bin, a McDonald's own
    32        bin, our own bin.
    33
    34   Q.   Where from, though, inside the store or something?
    35        A.  Yes, we have a stock of spare bins in case a lid
    36        disappears or something.
    37
    38   Q.   You contacted the Council for permission to sponsor more
    39        bins; was that because you recognised that there was environment/index.html">litter
    40        on the street?
    41        A.  No, it was through negotiation with Linda Wells.
    42        I said:  "If you think that there is a problem", because
    43        when you do a environment/index.html">litter patrol, the thing is when you have
    44        finished the round, it takes 15 minutes, then there is a
    45        break.  In the meantime there is a possibility as soon as
    46        you move from that spot that somebody drops environment/index.html">litter or
    47        something.  And because there was lack of bins, it was
    48        mutually agreed that it is beneficial if we have the bins
    49        (because there was a lack of bins on the Kings Road) to
    50        sponsor the bins, they thought that it was a good idea and 
    51        I believed ----- 
    52 
    53   Q.   So, at that time environment/index.html">litter was being dropped between the
    54        patrols; it stayed there until, well, it stayed there until
    55        the next patrol came round?
    56        A.  That is correct.  It all depends on timing.  But if you
    57        have moved past one area, then you are not going to come
    58        back to it after at least another 30 minutes or so.
    59
    60   Q.   No. 3, how frequent were the environment/index.html">litter patrols to start with
