     2   Q.   Next page 791, 3rd December 1993, this time to Mr. Cobden
     3        in shorter form but roughly to the same effect as the one
     4        to Dr. Munday. The second paragraph: "There now seems to no
     5        environment/index.html">litter patrol and one has not been in evidence for some
     6        time."  I think you have already answered that.  As at 3rd
     7        December 1993 is that true or false, was there a environment/index.html">litter
     8        patrol at that time?
     9        A.  Yes, there was.
    10
    11   Q.   Mr. Cobden responds on page 792 to Mr. Flash who had
    12        written on 21st November.  This letter is dated 1st
    13        December 1993.  The second paragraph: "Although I am
    14        satisfied that Mr. Stump is doing everything that is
    15        reasonably possible to control environment/index.html">litter, I am, however,
    16        sending him a copy of your letter so that he is fully aware
    17        of your concerns.  He will, I am sure, also look into your
    18        complaint concerning the times when rubbish is collected."
    19        That would be the contractor's times, would it?
    20        A.  That is right, yes.

    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  May I ask one question?  The dining room host
    23        or dining area host either goes himself or herself or
    24        details one of the six staff to go on the environment/index.html">litter patrol?
    25        A.  Yes, sir.
    26
    27   Q.   Do they wear McDonald's uniforms as they go on the patrol?
    28        A.  Yes, sir.  They would be wearing a McDonald's uniform,
    29        but in the cold months we often allow them to wear their
    30        own jackets because of the cold temperatures.  There is a
    31        McDonald's environment/index.html">litter patrol jacket available, but I have
    32        allowed them to wear their own jackets in some cases.
    33
    34   Q.   You did not give instructions that they should wear the
    35        McDonald's environment/index.html">litter patrol jackets so that it would be
    36        obvious who they were?
    37        A.  No, I did not because I felt if they felt that their
    38        jacket was better than the ones we could provide, then they
    39        were free to do so.

    41   MR. RAMPTON:  Perhaps his Lordship was asking this, so it is my
    42        fault for not listening carefully enough.  We are looking
    43        at letters of November/December 1993 and I personally
    44        I cannot remember what the weather was like then, but are
    45        there any kind of McDonald's outdoor jackets which are
    46        easily identifiable as being McDonald's clothes?
    47        A.  Yes.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is the environment/index.html">litter patrol jacket you referred
    50        to, is it? 
    51        A.  Yes, sir. 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  I did not hear?
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Stump said that there was a environment/index.html">litter patrol
    56        jacket.  I asked whether he gave any instruction that they
    57        should wear that rather than their own jacket so that it
    58        would be obvious who they were, and he said no.
    59
    60   MR. RAMPTON:  Is the environment/index.html">litter patrol jacket a waterproof sort of
