1 Action Group of which he, New Zealand John, and Paul
2 Gravett were also members. The group did not express much
3 interest in this idea."

5 You then go on: "Paul Gravett stated that Hackney
6 Solidarity Group had printed 10,000 anti-McDonald's
7 leaflets using last year's artwork from London Greenpeace.
8 As a result, the date for the fair appears as
9 29th September instead of the 27th. It was decided that it
10 would be best to alter the leaflets by hand, rather than
11 scrap them."
12
13 Do you remember any discussion to the effect, perhaps from
14 Mr. Morris or Ms. Steel, saying, "We do not need these
15 leaflets any more, let us scrap them"?
16 A. No, they did not say that.
17
18 Q. When you say "it was decided", is that -----
19
20 MR. MORRIS: It does not say the leaflets were produced for
21 London Greenpeace. It was produced by Hackney Solidarity
22 Group.
23
24 MR. RAMPTON: I am grateful for that indication from
25 Mr. Morris.
26
27 Was it your impression or not that the group intended to
28 use these leaflets?
29 A. It was my impression that they intended to use them.
30
31 Q. Thank you. That is on 20th September. Then, finally, on
32 the 27th, this is after service of the writ -- my Lord,
33 this is page 208 and 209 -- 27th September; no Mr. Morris
34 but, again, Ms. Steel is present. If you look at 209, you
35 have written, in the last part of your note, just before
36 the italics "the timings may not be accurate":
37
38 "London Greenpeace activities on the 16th against
39 McDonald's are as follows: 12.00 to 16.00, picket of the
40 Nags Head Restaurant, Seven Sisters Road; 16.00 to 18.00,
41 picket of the headquarters of the building; 19.00 to and an
42 indefinite time, picket of the Tottenham Court Road
43 restaurant."
44
45 Do you see that?
46 A. Yes, I do.
47
48 Q. We can take it, can we, that when you have written these
49 things down, we can rely on them, as you told Ms. Steel and
50 Mr. Morris ---
51 A. Yes.
52
53 Q. -- as being an accurate record of what took place. Did
54 anybody say -----
55
56 MS. STEEL: He did say "subject to corrections".
57
58 MR. RAMPTON: I am just asking to see if we need a correction.
59 Did anybody say at that meeting -- Ms. Steel, for
60 example -- "Oh, don't let's bother with the pickets against
