     1        speaking to us and, yes, I have spoken to them.

     3   Q.   Do you remember giving a long interview to The Guardian
     4        newspaper which was published on 11th July 1995 in the
     5        women's section?  It is only fair I should show it to you
     6        now.
     7        A.  I think I do remember it, yes.
     8
     9   Q.   I think I will pass it up now, but before I ask you any
    10        question I should show you it because you may be
    11        misreported.  It does happen we know that (handed).
    12
    13   Q.   Just looks like it is a pretty rotten photograph but it
    14        looks like you wearing the same sort of shirt to what you
    15        are wearing today?
    16        A.  It is probably the same one.
    17
    18   Q.   Though I dare say it has been to the cleaners since then.
    19        11th July 1995 headed, "Bun Fight"?
    20        A.  Yes, I do remember the article, yes.
    21
    22   Q.   Do you remember the interview on which the article was
    23        based?
    24        A.  I do remember speaking to Sarah Boseley, although I do
    25        remember that there were some things that were not what I
    26        had said.
    27
    28   Q.   Could I ask you, please, just to read the column, the first
    29        column halfway down, starting with the words "If the
    30        corporation wins", down to "Mcnuggets to low staff wages"?
    31        A.  Yes, in fact that was one of the things that I did not
    32        say to her.
    33
    34   Q.   You did not say?
    35        A.  No.
    36
    37   Q.   Is there anything else in that?
    38        A.  In the whole article?
    39
    40   Q.   No, no, in that short passage from "if the corporation
    41        wins" down to "low staff wages".  I am not interested in
    42        anything else.
    43        A.  Down to where sorry?
    44
    45   Q.   Down from "if the corporation wins" down the bit about
    46        "Mcnuggets low staff wages", which is the last complete
    47        paragraph in the photocopy?
    48        A.  Right.  I did not say I hated the promotion of
    49        burgers.  I remember when I read this article thinking I
    50        never once said the word 'hate' during the interview and
    51        that it appeared in quite a few places.  I mean, I am
    52        opposed to those things.
    53
    54   Q.   To be fair to the journalist that is not in quotes, that
    55        though, is it?
    56        A.  No, but I am just saying.
    57
    58   Q.   What about the first sentence?
    59        A.  Hang on.
