     1
     2   MR. MORRIS:  We will not hold that against you but it does say
     3        in that statement you signed, paragraph four, fourth line:
     4        "At the meeting Paul Gravett mentioned Aldgate Press
     5        printers printed 10,000 McDonald's leaflets by mistake."
     6        Whereas in your note it says Organic Press.  Do you
     7        remember, we had a discussion about that earlier on?
     8        A.  That is correct, it does.
     9
    10   Q.   So was it that the solicitors told you that you were wrong?
    11        A.   I cannot recall now.
    12
    13   Q.   Well, who wrote the statement?  Was it you or the
    14        solicitors?
    15        A.   I and the solicitors I believe.
    16
    17   Q.   So when I was asking you before whether, in fact, he did
    18        said say organic press or whether it was your mistake and
    19        you denied it was your mistake; you seem to have recognized
    20        it was a mistake by you in your statements?
    21        A.   No.  In my notes it says Organic Press in my notes it
    22        says Aldgate Press.
    23
    24   Q.   Well, you have signed the statement.  So which one is true?
    25        A.   I would rely on my original notes made at the time.
    26
    27   Q.   So the statement is incorrect?
    28        A.   It looks like it is wrong there, yes, on that part.
    29
    30   Q.   Have you got some problem with admitting you made a mistake
    31        of recollection at the time you made your notes?
    32        A.  No.  What I made at the time I would rely upon.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you are going to finish by 1 o'clock you
    35        know, you really cannot be bothering to going over things
    36        like this again.  I am sure there must be things to help me
    37        on more important issues in the case like that.
    38
    39   MS. STEEL:  We are testing the accuracy of the notes.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I know.  You have you have done it already
    42        and I can draw my own conclusions of the notes that applies
    43        to at Aldgate Press. Whether or not the fact that he put
    44        Organic Press and whether or not he is prepared now to
    45        accept that a mistake of that kind was made by him, I will
    46        take into account.  Do not take another even two or three
    47        minutes on it.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  Okay.
    50 
    51   MS. STEEL:  It says about, Mr. Gravett also mentioned in he 
    52        could get a 20 minute film, this is in a statement, that 
    53        has been made about McDonald's to show at the next public
    54        meeting at Endsleigh Street, did you go to the next public
    55        meeting at Endsleigh Street.  It would have been the end of
    56        March?
    57        A.   I do not recall.  If my notes do not say it, then I
    58        was not there.
    59
    60   Q.   You do not remember attending a meeting at Endsleigh Street
