1 the sponsorship you did do, did you get press publicity?
2 Does McDonald's get press publicity for its sponsorship
3 efforts?
4 A. For one of those, yes, there was a picture, not of
5 myself, but of the school children digging the pond.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: With some reference to McDonald's?
8 A. There was a reference to McDonald's.
9
10 MR. MORRIS: I do not how long Mr. Rampton is expecting to take;
11 we think we have about 10 more fairly brief questions, if
12 we could possibly get through today.
13
14 MR. RAMPTON: Easily -- I doubt I have one question in
15 re-examination.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. Sit down and take stock. If we can
18 possibly finish any witness late in the afternoon, rather
19 than asking them to come back for a short time in the
20 morning, it is obviously helpful. But sit down and have
21 any discussion you want to.
22
23 MS. STEEL: You said that the High Street, Kensington, had a
24 environment/index.html">litter cart; is that right -- two?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. But Kings Road did not; was the environment/index.html">litter problem worse in

36 worse, better or the same than Kings Road?

40 Road.
41
42 Q. So environment/index.html">litter is, basically, a fact of life around everywhere
43 where the company operates?
44 A. Yes, people do drop environment/index.html">litter and there is environment/index.html">litter, but we
45 collect it so I would not say that it is a problem.
46
47 Q. I think you said that environment/index.html">litter was worse in Central London
48 which you blame on the tourists; is that right?
49 A. That is my opinion.
50
51 Q. The environment/index.html">litter patrols that were in operation while you were
52 working there, did they go out in uniform?
53 A. At Kings Road?
54
55 Q. Kings Road, yes.
56 A. Initially, they did not; they used to put their own
57 jacket on.
58
59 Q. But then?
60 A. Then because people, local residents, did not know who
