     1        Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace International.  It
     2        appeared that many of these letters had actually been
     3        intended for Greenpeace International and had simply been
     4        posted to the wrong address.  In many of the replies, a
     5        copy of the leaflet 'What's is wrong with McDonald's' was
     6        included."
     7
     8        Do you remember, during your time within the group, any
     9        other leaflet than the one we have just been looking at,
    10        entitled "What's is wrong with McDonald's"?
    11        A.  Again, it is a vague recollection, but I believe there
    12        was a shorter leaflet as well, yes.
    13
    14   Q.   Do you remember on this occasion whether you also included
    15        -- you have already told us that you and the others were
    16        putting the longer leaflet into the envelopes, in some
    17        cases at least -- do you remember whether sometimes you
    18        might have put the shorter leaflet in as well?
    19        A.  It is possible.  I do not remember specifically.
    20
    21   Q.   Or -----
    22        A.  It is possible.  I do not remember specifically.
    23
    24   Q.   Then you have written: "There were some inquiries
    25        specifically referring to McDonald's and asking for
    26        information on a subject or saying that they had seen the
    27        leaflet and wanted further information on a subject. Those
    28        simply wanting information were sent the above named
    29        leaflet."  Do you mean the leaflet "What's is wrong with
    30        McDonald's"?
    31        A.  Yes, I do.
    32
    33   Q.   I do not think I have any further questions to ask in
    34        chief.  Yes, I have one further question.  During your time
    35        with the group (which was a longish time, some might think)
    36        did you form any impression of the way the group was
    37        composed?  Let me make that a little bit clearer.  Were
    38        there people who came regularly and people who came only
    39        occasionally?
    40        A.  There were, yes, certainly.
    41
    42   Q.   First question:  who, in your recollection, were what
    43        I might call the regulars?
    44        A.  Paul Gravett, Helen Steel, Dave Morris, Jane Laporte,
    45        Andrew Clarke.  They are the ones that stick most
    46        prominently in my mind.
    47
    48   Q.   Are other people from time to time?
    49        A.  Yes.  There were some others, whose names I do not
    50        recollect, who were there more frequently.  But, certainly, 
    51        those people are the ones who I recollect the most. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Secondly -- if this is not, perhaps, an unnecessary
    54        question; it may now be -- who were people, the people that
    55        you remember who, if I may put it like this, as it were,
    56        drove the activities of the group?
    57
    58   MS. STEEL:   He should have asked first whether there was
    59        anybody.  It is a leading question, really.
