     1        I cannot make head nor tail of any value without knowing
              what meals you were suggesting for the rest of the week.
     2        I cannot make any comparison.
 
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Ask a question about what sort of meals
              then.  Have you actually got them down on some notes
     4        somewhere?
              A.  Yes, I have a series of notes on that.  I am not sure
     5        if we will be able to find them right now or not, but they
              are certainly available.
     6
         MR. MORRIS:  If would be useful if we could have the notes,
     7        otherwise I cannot see the figures have any meaning.
 
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What Mr. Morris is getting at is he wants to
              see whether the other meals you have chosen are really
     9        realistic or you have had to pull very hard to get your
              figures?
    10        A.  Yes, I understand that.  What I have done is to work
              out a series of diets, different diets, for a day.  There
    11        is one day which is different, but for the rest of them we
              have used the same six daily diets.  You know, it has gone
    12        right through from Saturday to Monday.  I am not sure if I
              can get them straightaway or not, but they are available.
    13
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You could produce so that if Mr. Morris
    14        wanted to make comment on it, in the future you could
              produce Sunday through to Saturday with the meals you had
    15        with a ring round the McDonald's ones?
              A.  Yes, that is right.  That is available.
    16
         MR. MORRIS:  Let us go to the McDonald's meal that you included
    17        in this chart, for example.  If we look at the bottom, we
              have 1 to 5 meals, yes?
    18        A.  Yes.
 
    19   Q.   Quarter Pounder and cheese.  The cheese has reduced fat
              recently, has it not?
    20        A.  Yes, it has.
 
    21   Q.   I am just going to try to see if this chart would apply to
              say, for example, the material time of the alleged libel
    22        in 1989/90.  The cheese has been reduced, the fat in the
              cheese has been reduced, has it not?
    23        A.  Yes, yes.
 
    24   Q.   Since the winter of 1989/90.
 
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That cheese is in its reduced packed form,
              is it? 
    26        A.  Yes, it would be now. 
  
    27   MR. MORRIS:  The side salad does not exist in all the stores in
              any case, does it?
    28        A.  That is right, yes.
 
    29   Q.   So that is not really a standard item.  Any changes in the
              shake since the winter of 1989/90?
    30        A.  No, I do not think so.
