1 said or what you saw on a bit of paper?
2 A. No. It may have been what you said or somebody else
3 said or general conversation.
4
5 Q. You cannot remember now?
6 A. No.

8 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris, this is an example. If it is
9 your positive case that you did not say that and no one
10 said in it your presence at this meeting, if you accept
11 that you were at the meeting, you should put it because by
12 the same token, what I said the other day, if you do not
13 challenge it in that way I will assume that you are not
14 admitting it. Hence the question is tested. But that you
15 have no positive recollection or information from others
16 yourself; that is wrong.
17
18 I can help you further. You do not necessarily have to
19 have a recollection that it was not said. You do not
20 necessarily have to have information from someone else that
21 it was not said. If it is your case that you could not
22 possibly have been involved in organizing the 1989 fair
23 because of your personal misfortunes, then that is
24 sufficient for you to say, "I suggest nothing was said to
25 that effect by anybody." But you must put it fair and
26 square so that I know for sure that it is positively
27 challenged.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Well, I could not possibly have said that I
30 helped organize the 1989 McDonald's fair, could I?
31 A. I do not recall whether you specifically said that.
32 It had been something that I had gleaned from that meeting.
33
34 Q. I could not have possibly said that I was organizing the
35 1990 London Greenpeace fair?
36 A. I do not know. If I have made reference to it in my
37 notes, it would have been mentioned.
38
39 Q. This was in March 1990. The London Greenpeace in any event
40 was not going to be until October. Nobody was organizing
41 the fair anyway at that stage?
42 A. If I have made reference to it, it may have been
43 discussed. It would have been discussed.
44
45 Q. And I would never have said I helped produce the leaflets
46 for the antiMcDonald's campaign?
47 A. If you said it; I do not recall. It would have been
48 said or I would have had the impression from those present
49 of what I have made in my notes.
50
51 Q. In fact, if the subject would have come up, I could have
52 stated that I am not involved in the anitMcDonald's
53 campaign. That is really what other people were doing?
54 A. That was not the impression that I got.
55
56 Q. From this meeting?
57 A. From what my notes say.
58
59 Q. Or from other meetings or what?
60 A. From what my notes say. From what I recall by reading
