     1   Q.   Have you watched them in operation?

     3
     4   Q.   Do they confine themselves to picking up McDonald's stamped
     5        marked packaging?
     6        A.  No, they pick up everybody's environment/index.html">litter.

     8   Q.   Do they?  Thank you, Mr. Oakley.  Please remain there.

    10   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you ready to start or do you want a break
    11        now?
    12
    13   MS. STEEL:   Yes, if we had a short break, it might be helpful.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  10 minutes maybe?
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will have a ten minute break.

    22                    Cross-examined by the Defendants
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes?
    25
    26   MR. MORRIS:  Just one initial question:  You are responsible for
    27        purchasing.  You said it included food and packaging.  Can
    28        you just say the other areas of responsibility for
    29        purchasing?
    30        A.  Purchasing?
    31
    32   Q.   Yes.
    33        A.  Would be distribution.
    34
    35   Q.   I am not sure if I made myself clear.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are being asked whether you are
    38        responsible for purchasing of other items which are neither
    39        food nor packaging items.
    40        A.  Oh, I see.  No, I am not, not directly, other than
    41        cleaning materials used in the restaurant.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  What about, for example, the equipment used in the
    44        store?
    45        A.  No.
    46
    47   Q.   Who is responsible for that?
    48        A.  That would be the equipment department.
    49
    50   Q.   A special department? 
    51        A.  Yes.  I have -- if I just qualify that -- I have been 
    52        asked from time to time to help in negotiation with an 
    53        equipment supplier by the equipment department, but it is
    54        not something I have responsibility for.  I might just sit
    55        in on one meeting and help them negotiate a price or a
    56        quantity.
    57
    58   Q.   Because, obviously, for example, in packaging the packaging
    59        has to be matched, presumably, with the equipment inside
    60        the store, or maybe not just packaging, but the two
