     1        12.00 there was a problem and we only did one environment/index.html">litter patrol
     2        between 11.00 and 12 o'clock and, basically, there was a
     3        problem because people either came from wine bars or from
     4        pubs and, because 11.00 and 12.00 there was no trash walk
     5        done, there was a potential problem, although it did not
     6        happen every day, but especially the weekends were -- could
     7        be bad.
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:  Then after the licence to remain open was turned
    10        down -- to remain the actual store open -- the problem with
    11        environment/index.html">litter got worse, you say?
    12        A.  No, we introduced that 11.30 trash walk.
    13
    14   Q.   Right, but you say in this sentence:  "As a result, such
    15        environment/index.html">litter problems as we had became worse rather than better".
    16          So, things got worse after this time?
    17        A.  Yes, worse in the sense that you could see environment/index.html">litter on
    18        the street and we had to pick up even after midnight.
    19
    20   Q.   Right.  You said there was only one environment/index.html">litter patrol between
    21        11.00 and 12.00.  After it got dark was there only one an
    22        hour, or something like that, or how often did they take
    23        place?
    24        A.  No, no, it was still the same as I suggested before.
    25        There were employees who were, like the ones over 40, there
    26        were a couple of other, I think that some of them were over
    27        27, 28.  So, there was a good collection of people who were
    28        mature people, so there was no problem as such.
    29
    30   Q.   Yes, but how often were there environment/index.html">litter patrols when it was
    31        dark?
    32        A.  With the same frequency as I suggested before, with
    33        every half an hour, but sometimes things have been missed
    34        out like during the day too.
    35
    36   Q.   Until 11.00 when they were not every half hour, or was it
    37        before then that that stopped?
    38        A.  No, until midnight because 11.30 there was extra walk
    39        and then 12 o'clock.
    40
    41   Q.   No, before the application.
    42        A.  Right, we used to stop at 11.00, then we -----
    43
    44   Q.   You stopped altogether at 11.00?
    45        A.  No, no, we stopped at 11.00, so that because it was all
    46        take-away we used to wait until 12 o'clock.
    47
    48   Q.   Were the staff quite happy to do these late night trash
    49        walks?
    50        A.  Yes, they were. 
    51 
    52   Q.   They were? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   They continued all the time that you were manager?
    56        A.  Yes, they did.
    57
    58   Q.   When you say in the last sentence:  "In respect of the
    59        application for a licence being refused, to that extent
    60        I believe that the local residents' objections to the
