     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page?
 
     2   MISS STEEL:  It is tab 49.  There is only one page.  Would you
              accept from the penultimate paragraph that it appears as
     3        though the "Good Food, Nutrition & McDonald's" was the
              document that was available from head office rather than
     4        in stores?
              A.  Well, it says "It is available on request from this
     5        office"; it does not say "only", so I am not sure.
              I cannot be sure.
     6
         Q.   But the paragraph before that talks about the facts about
     7        eating at McDonald's and says:  "It is available free in
              all 165 of our restaurants".  So, looking at it in
     8        context, it would appear as though this document was just
              available from head office?
     9        A.  You are asking me to draw a conclusion.  I do not
              know, I cannot tell from here.  It does not say "only
    10        available from the office".  I am guessing it probably
              was, but I am not sure.
    11
         Q.   OK.
    12        A.  Is this the paragraph that goes on to talk about
              comparing to other typical British meals?  That is the one
    13        you are in, yes?
 
    14   Q.   Yes.
              A.  Do I need this again?
    15
         Q.   No, not for now anyway.  How often do you eat at
    16        McDonald's or how often do you eat McDonald's food?
              A.  Four or five times a week most weeks.  This weekend,
    17        Friday, Saturday and Sunday, all three days, once a day.
 
    18   Q.   Why is that?
              A.  Because I like the food.
    19
         Q.   Are there any of the menu items you are particularly fond
    20        of?
              A.  Oh, Friday I had filet-o-fish; Saturday, a chicken
    21        product; Sunday, I had a beef product, the hat-trick
              triple cheeseburger.  I guess I cover all spectrums.
    22
         Q.   So, basically, you really enjoy eating McDonald's food?
    23        A.  I enjoy McDonald's food absolutely, but I do have
              other things, one meal a day.  Do you want my whole menu?
    24
         Q.   No, no, that is all right.
    25
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Was that purely pleasure or is part of it so 
    26        that ---- 
              A.  Checking stores. 
    27
         Q.   Are you spot checking all the time?
    28        A.  Two of the meals were pure pleasure and one of them
              was as part of a day out in the marketplace on Saturday.
    29
         MISS STEEL:  Do you ever dream of eating them?
    30        A.  Well, let me tell you, my dreams can be strange.
