     1        A.  Yes, I did.
     2
     3   Q.   Then there is another one against the last line but one of
     4        paragraph 10.  Do you see that?
     5        A.  I see that, yes.  They are my initials.
     6
     7   Q.   Then if you look on page 5, paragraph 19, at the bottom of
     8        the page?
     9        A.  Yes.
    10
    11   Q.   The solicitor has written: "I have observed that every time
    12        the group received correspondence, the anti-McDonald's
    13        leaflet was incorporated into their responses."  You have
    14        actually changed that to: "I have observed that when the
    15        group had received correspondence, the anti-McDonald's
    16        leaflet was incorporated almost without exception."
    17        A.  That is my alteration.
    18
    19   Q.   Yes.  Did you take some care with these statements before
    20        you signed them?
    21        A.  I did, yes.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You may be going to do it, Mr. Rampton, but
    24        he has not actually averred 7B and 7C yet.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  I always forget.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is easy to.  But I am having to be
    29        meticulous about this, because the Defendants are
    30        representing themselves and I do not want there to be any
    31        misunderstanding at the end of the day.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  Did you take the same kind of care with the two
    34        subsequent statements?
    35        A.  Yes.  It is normal, if I have to sign anything, to be
    36        careful what I am signing.
    37
    38   Q.   Can you keep your voice up a bit?  I am a bit hard of
    39        hearing.
    40        A.  Yes.  Sorry.
    41
    42   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Speak up loud and clear.
    43
    44   MR. RAMPTON:  Are the contents of your second and third
    45        statements also true?
    46        A.  To the best of my knowledge, yes.
    47
    48   Q.   Can I show you a document, please?
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:   Actually, can we have a look at that one before it 
    51        goes up?  (Handed)  If we note that that is a fact sheet 
    52        with a tea stain, which has already been handed up to some 
    53        previous witness.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I was particularly not saying anything
    56        about the document before the witness was asked a question
    57        about it.
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:  (To the witness)  Just take a little time to have
    60        a look at that, please.  Open it up.  It goes in three
