2 Q. Would you be prepared to accept that, in fact, they were
3 the short A5?
4 A. No, I would not be prepared to accept that, because
5 I do not know at this time.

7 MR. MORRIS: It says that these leaflets that were printed
8 mistakenly, the 10,000 copies of the "What's wrong with
9 McDonald's?" leaflets, were giving them to the group free
10 of charge. Do you remember them actually ever giving them
11 to the group?
12 A. I do not recall them being given to the group, no.
13
14 MS. STEEL: There is also a reference in these notes to
15 Paul Gravett bringing up about an anti-McDonald's video as
16 well. You confirm that, yes?
17 A. Yes, yes, I see that.
18
19 Q. It is produced by a small Oxford film company?
20 A. That is what I have here, yes.
21
22 Q. Moving on to 22nd March -- sorry, Mr. Morris might have
23 more on the -- yes.
24
25 If we look at 22nd March, it is a meeting at
26 Caledonian Road. It was not until 8.20 that you were able
27 to enter the building.

29 "By 9 o'clock, the following people were present at the
30 meeting: Paul Gravett, Helen Steel, John, Adrian, Marion,
31 and one other who I had not seen before."
32
33 You can confirm that, yes?
34 A. I can.
35
36 Q. Mr. Gravett brought up about the Oxford video again, and he
37 -- sorry, the Oxford video about McDonald's -- and he
38 brought up about the Hackney and Islington Animal Rights
39 group holding a picket of McDonald's Dalston Junction on
40 24th March; yes?
41 A. Yes, that is correct.
42
43 Q. On the following page, you say: "Nothing else of relevance
44 was discussed. We left the building at 10.10 p.m." So,
45 that was the only interesting reference to McDonald's, or
46 those were the only interesting references to McDonald's?
47 A. They were certainly the only ones I noted, yes.
48
49 MS. STEEL: 19th April. There are quite a few questions on this.
50
51 MR. MORRIS: Is it possible to break off for a little bit longer
52 for lunch, so that we can talk to our counsel who is going
53 to give the -- not our counsel, but the counsel -- just an
54 extra 10 minutes, or something?
55
56 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I will come back at 10 past two. It
57 will be an inconvenience to Mr. Pocklington, but unless he
58 has some pressing reason not to be here this afternoon, I
59 would like him to be back at 10 past two. It is purely
60 precautionary, unless anything goes wrong with the
