Day 074 - 16 Jan 95 - Page 44
1 cross-examination as to checks is relevant, but there has
2 to be a limit to how much time we can spend on what I will
3 describe as "indirect cross-examination". Use your
4 discretion as to that. I mean, one could spend day after
5 day checking every check and every check of every check in
6 cross-examination.

8 MS. STEEL: You said this morning something about checking the
9 streets when you drove to work and when you went home.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I think he misunderstood your last question.
12 The question, I think, Ms. Steel was asking you, did you
13 make your check on arrival in the morning and check as you
14 left at night every day that you worked there?
15 A. I would say, my Lord, almost every day.
16
17 MS. STEEL: That was by car?
18 A. That was by car, but the one which I was referring to
19 when I was working during the shift.
20
21 Q. Yes, the one you made by car, what speed were you
22 travelling at?
23 A. Whatever the speed limit is, 10, 15 miles an hour.
24
25 Q. Unless the environment/index.html">litter was slap bang in the middle of the road,

35 just to see how the job was performed.
36

43 Q. So from 7 a.m. to 10.00 in the morning there were no environment/index.html">litter

45 A. There were environment/index.html">litter patrols.
46
47 Q. I thought environment/index.html">litter patrols did not start until 10.00 in the
48 morning?
49 A. I did not say that. I said as soon as the cleaner
50 comes in he used to do the first one. You might be
51 referring to that letter from Mrs. Wells where she has
52 indicated -----

54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It was point (3) in her "join us for dinner"
55 letter: "He would increase the frequency of McDonald's
56 environment/index.html">litter patrol which makes rounds from 10 a.m. to closing
57 and we believe he will do so".
