     1   Q.   Right.  Do you ever remember any of those four people
     2        disassociating themselves from any anti-McDonald's activity
     3        or any anti-McDonald's leaflets saying that they wanted
     4        nothing to do with it or that they would not answer letters
     5        because they did not agree with it or anything like that?
     6        A.   No, not at all.
     7
     8   Q.   Right.
     9        A.   They did answer letters.  To the best of my memory, I
    10        can remember all of them answering letters.
    11
    12   Q.   I think we have dealt with number 10.
    13        A.   Mr. Bishop also helped with the stall on one occasion
    14        as well.
    15
    16   Q.   Where was that?
    17        A.  That was the one at the George Rowby pub.
    18
    19   Q.   Okay.  Do you remember Mr. Claire having any part in the
    20        1990 fayre or volunteering for any part in the 1990 fayre?
    21        A.   As far as I can remember, he did volunteer to do, I
    22        think it was the videos for the fayre, when it was being
    23        discussed who would do what job there.
    24
    25   Q.   Right.
    26        A.   He said he would do that, but in the end I do not
    27        think he did.  Well, I know he did not.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  Just the last few points.  The organisation,
    30        Veggies in Nottingham, you know them, do you?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   We have a witness coming from them, so there is no need to
    34        go into the detail of that but was London Greenpeace --
    35        what contact did you have with Veggies while you were
    36        involved with the anti-McDonald's campaign, while you were
    37        coordinating/organising the anti-McDonald's campaign for
    38        London Greenpeace?
    39        A.   Well, we were in correspondence with them, ringing
    40        them up or writing to them.  When I say "we", I mean I
    41        was.  With Patrick of Veggies in particular.  And in
    42        particular relating to the fact that they had got the legal
    43        threat from McDonald's in, I think it was 1987,   late '87.
    44
    45   Q.   So you were aware of that, were you?
    46        A.   I was aware of that, of course, yes.
    47
    48   Q.   Right.  Did you see any of the correspondence involved with
    49        that?
    50        A.   I do not think I saw correspondence but I may have
    51        done, I cannot remember, but what the outcome of it was was
    52        that they came to an agreement with McDonald's over their
    53        fact sheet.
    54
    55   Q.   Right.  Is this the Veggies fact sheet?
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Well, we know, unless there is a dispute
    58        about it.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  Okay, that is the Veggies fact sheet.
