     1        Action Group of which he, New Zealand John, and Paul
     2        Gravett were also members.  The group did not express much
     3        interest in this idea."
     4
     5        You then go on: "Paul Gravett stated that Hackney
     6        Solidarity Group had printed 10,000 anti-McDonald's
     7        leaflets using last year's artwork from London Greenpeace.
     8        As a result, the date for the fair appears as
     9        29th September instead of the 27th.  It was decided that it
    10        would be best to alter the leaflets by hand, rather than
    11        scrap them."
    12
    13        Do you remember any discussion to the effect, perhaps from
    14        Mr. Morris or Ms. Steel, saying, "We do not need these
    15        leaflets any more, let us scrap them"?
    16        A.  No, they did not say that.
    17
    18   Q.   When you say "it was decided", is that -----
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  It does not say the leaflets were produced for
    21        London Greenpeace.  It was produced by Hackney Solidarity
    22        Group.
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  I am grateful for that indication from
    25        Mr. Morris.
    26
    27        Was it your impression or not that the group intended to
    28        use these leaflets?
    29        A.  It was my impression that they intended to use them.
    30
    31   Q.   Thank you.  That is on 20th September.  Then, finally, on
    32        the 27th, this is after service of the writ -- my Lord,
    33        this is page 208 and 209 -- 27th September; no Mr. Morris
    34        but, again, Ms. Steel is present.  If you look at 209, you
    35        have written, in the last part of your note, just before
    36        the italics "the timings may not be accurate":
    37
    38        "London Greenpeace activities on the 16th against
    39        McDonald's are as follows: 12.00 to 16.00, picket of the
    40        Nags Head Restaurant, Seven Sisters Road; 16.00 to 18.00,
    41        picket of the headquarters of the building; 19.00 to and an
    42        indefinite time, picket of the Tottenham Court Road
    43        restaurant."
    44
    45        Do you see that?
    46        A.  Yes, I do.
    47
    48   Q.   We can take it, can we, that when you have written these
    49        things down, we can rely on them, as you told Ms. Steel and
    50        Mr. Morris --- 
    51        A.  Yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   -- as being an accurate record of what took place.  Did
    54        anybody say -----
    55
    56   MS. STEEL:  He did say "subject to corrections".
    57
    58   MR. RAMPTON:  I am just asking to see if we need a correction.
    59        Did anybody say at that meeting -- Ms. Steel, for
    60        example -- "Oh, don't let's bother with the pickets against
