     1        Star Trek, who went all over the world.  But that is not
     2        really shown any more.
     3
     4   Q.   But that was only shown to 14 to 18 year-olds?
     5        A.  Yes.
     6
     7   Q.   Did you show any other videos to younger----
     8        A.  No, I did not, no.  There was not a suitable video for
     9        younger people.
    10
    11   Q.   Just one more thing about that film.  There was something
    12        in it about growth promoters used in cattle.  I think there
    13        were two references.  Do you remember the exact wording?
    14        A.  No, not the exact wording.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:   I just say, again, that if the Plaintiffs want to
    17        rely on any point about the wording of growth promoters,
    18        they should provide a transcript, because it is my
    19        understanding that they were talking both about hormonal
    20        growth promoters and non-hormone growth promoters in two
         different parts of the film.
    22
    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If any point is going to be made in due
    24        course on what is said, as opposed to what is shown, it
    25        would be helpful if someone makes a transcript for the
    26        purpose of the argument of at least that part of the video.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  The last but one point is the letter that you got
    29        to the youth magazine of The Vegetarian Society, Green
    30        Scene, from McDonald's, regarding an article that appeared
    31        in Green Scene.  Is that correct?
    32        A.  Yes.
    33
    34   Q.   Did you write that article?
    35        A.  No.  It was an interview with Morrissey, the pop star.
    36
    37   Q.   It was his words, was it?
    38        A.  It was his words, yes.
    39
    40   Q.   If, at the end of the case, it was found out that
         McDonald's had lied to Green Scene and The Vegetarian
    42        Society in order to get an apology, for example, about
    43        their non-use of ex-rainforest land, how would you feel
    44        about that?
    45        A.  Deceived, I suppose, and upset; and I would want to
    46        redress the situation.
    47
    48   Q.   Would you feel that it may reflect upon the quality of
    49        information from the company, in general?
    50        A.  Yes, I would. 
    51 
    52   Q.   The final question is: do you have a grudge against 
    53        McDonald's?
    54        A.  No, I do not.
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you have any questions, Ms.  Steel?  I am
    57        not suggesting you should, but, as you are a separate
    58        party, I am reminding you that you can ask, if you wish.
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:  No.
