     1        one.

     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We will sort that out later in the day.
     4
     5                      JULIETTE GALLATLEY, affirmed
     6                          Examined by MS. STEEL
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:  Can you give your name to the court, please?
     9        A.  Juliette Gallatley.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are you Miss, Mrs. or Ms.; which do you
    12        prefer?
    13        A.  Ms.
    14
    15   MS. STEEL:  Could you give your business address, please, to the
    16        court?
    17        A.  Well, I just give Woodside Cottage, Crofts Lane,
    18        Nr. Crewe, CW1 4RG.
    19
    20   Q.   Is it right that from 1987 to 1993 you were director of
         Youth Education and Campaigns at The Vegetarian Society?
    22        A.  That is correct.
    23
    24   Q.   You were editor of Green Scene Magazine from 1987 to 1992?
    25        A.  That is correct.
    26
    27   Q.   That is a magazine for ten to 17 year-olds?
    28        A.  That is right.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you keep both your voices up?  There is a
    31        tendency, when you are closer together than anyone else, to
    32        talk to each other rather than to the court at large.
    33
    34   MS. STEEL: You were the editor and joint researcher, author of
    35        Vegetarian Issues, a Resource Pack for Secondary Schools,
    36        in 1992?
    37        A.  I was, yes.
    38
    39   Q.   Can you tell us, what is your area of expertise relevant to
    40        this case, please?
         A.  I have probably given more school talks on the subject
    42        of food issues related to vegetarianism and meat than
    43        anybody else in Britain, and I have given about 500 or so
    44        talks to children from the ages of seven to 18.  I have
    45        also given an awful lot of talks to adult groups, as well,
    46        separately.
    47
    48   Q.   You said in your statement that you have got experience
    49        about the views of those children that you talked to?
    50        A.  Yes.  Well, when you give a talk, you are actively 
    51        asked by the teachers to have a debate area in those talks, 
    52        where you just really talk to those children and teenagers 
    53        about their views on all these issues; and so, over a
    54        number of years, I have built up a lot of knowledge of what
    55        children's views are in the UK to things like McDonald's.
    56
    57   Q.   How did you come to give talks at schools?  Were you
    58        invited, or did you approach the schools, or what?
    59        A.  It is both.  The schools would either call
    60        The Vegetarian Society and invite you to do a talk, or you
