     1        aware, but what they wanted was, they wanted after
     2        10 o'clock the environment/index.html">litter patrol to be done; they were not
     3        worried about before 10 o'clock.
     4
     5   Q.   She says that you called the Secretary of the Smith Street
     6        Residents Association and said that "McDonald's would
     7        increase the frequency of the environment/index.html">litter patrol which makes
     8        rounds from 10 a.m. to closing"?
     9        A.  Right, that might have been misunderstanding on her
    10        part about the way she has stated, but I understand what
    11        she meant, that what they wanted was to make sure that
    12        after 10 o'clock, because they did not think there was any
    13        environment/index.html">litter before 10 o'clock.
    14
    15   Q.   In the morning?
    16        A.  And in the openings times perhaps they were not even
    17        aware that we open at 7 o'clock for the breakfast.  They
    18        must have thought that we opened at 10 o'clock maybe for
    19        the menu or something.
    20
    21   Q.   Do you still have your statement there?
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Tab 6.
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:   In paragraph (7) -- do you just want to read that
    26        to yourself for a moment?
    27        A.  "Mr. McIntyre is correct in saying that the Council
    28        refused our application" -----
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just read it to yourself so you remind
    31        yourself of what it says.
    32
    33   THE WITNESS:  I have read it.
    34
    35   MS. STEEL:  What are the environment/index.html">litter problems that you are referring
    36        to in that paragraph?
    37        A.  It is just a normal percentage, as I suggested, could
    38        have been around 45 per cent of take-away, depending on the
    39        weather and the conditions.  Now, what happened was because
    40        it was all take-away, 100 per cent of it was take-away
    41        only, because we did not have a licence, so it was amount
    42        of environment/index.html">litter -----
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We understand that.  The question is you
    45        refer to "such environment/index.html">litter problems as we had" and you are
    46        asked:  What environment/index.html">litter problems did you have.
    47        A.  This I am referring to, basically, is it the same
    48        between 11.00 and 12 o'clock, because what I am suggesting
    49        here is because as the volume increased after the opening,
    50        so basically our problem got worse and worse because more 
    51        of the people were aware ----- 
    52 
    53   Q.   You are being asked what the problem was before it got
    54        worse, do you understand?  Were you conscious of there
    55        being a environment/index.html">litter problem before you were refused your late
    56        night cafe licence?
    57        A.  Yes, we were aware.
    58
    59   Q.   What did it amount to?
    60        A.  Basically, for myself it was that between 11.00 and
