     1        Saturday afternoon?
              A.  Well, it varies extremely widely, but I would say the
     2        statement we give out as a global truism is 27 million
              people will eat in a McDonald's every day of the week on
     3        average.
 
     4   Q.   How many, sorry?
              A.  27 million so divide that 14.
     5
         Q.   That is not in the UK?
     6        A.  That is the global number, 27 million people.
 
     7   Q.   What about in the UK?
              A.  Million and a quarter, million and a half.
     8
         Q.   Per day?
     9        A.  You said a Saturday.  So, on a Saturday probably that;
              on a Tuesday, I do not know, 900,000, a million.  A
    10        million a day on average is probably a fair number.
 
    11   Q.   You have 500 stores?
              A.  530, I believe now.
    12
         Q.   Would you like to hazard a guess or rough estimate as to
    13        say, for example, how many people might eat at McDonald's
              in Wood Green High Road on a Saturday afternoon -- it is a
    14        fairly busy store?
              A.  Well, I do not know it specifically, but I would
    15        hazard a guess; it is probably rather typical, so whatever
              the average is, if it is 2,000 people, 3,000 people.  I am
    16        not sure but it will be somewhere in that area.
 
    17   Q.   You think about 3,000 people in an afternoon?
              A.  In a day.
    18
         Q.   In a day.  I would like you to look at some photographs.
    19        I have actually only two sets but I do not think they are
              particularly controversial.  Perhaps Mr. Rampton and
    20        yourself could look at them afterwards.
 
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest you just let Mr. Rampton flip
              through them first and then ask Mr. Preston to look at
    22        them.
 
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  Thank you very much.  I will need to know a
              little bit more about these photographs, when they were
    24        taken, where they were taken, by whom and so on and so
              forth, but I do not know what question it is Miss Steel is
    25        going to ask.
  
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest Miss Steel asks the question 
              and  --- 
    27
         MR. RAMPTON:  I agree.
    28
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- I can decide the significance in due
    29        course.
 
    30   MISS STEEL:  Thank you. (Handed).  Could you look at the first
              photograph and tell me how many items of McDonald's environment/index.html">litter
