     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You had a local resident who did not agree at
     3        all with the plaudits being aimed at McDonald's King's Road
     4        store.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  That is right, Colin McIntyre.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is right.  I can see you might not want
     9        to call Mr. McIntyre until you have heard Mr. Siddique and
    10        Mr. Stump.  I understand that, but no other of your
    11        witnesses need wait until after Mr. Siddique and Mr. Stump,
    12        do they?
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  No.
    15
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is its own little punch up, is it not?
    17
    18   MR. MORRIS:  It may be, yes.  As far as I understood it, the
    19        plan as we were given as a proposal was to hear the
    20        Plaintiffs' witnesses first on this issue, then to hear our
         witnesses on this issue, and then move on to a different
    22        issue with a break proposed here of two days.  We are still
    23        trying to finish off Ms. Dibb which is a third issue and
    24        I cannot see cramming everything in is going to be the
    25        fairest thing to do.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not think it is being suggested that you
    28        cram everything in.  If Ms. Dibb had been 4/5ths way
    29        through her evidence in-chief I would not have wanted to
    30        put her over.  Although it might have been very
    31        inconvenient to Mr. Mallinson, I would have suggested if
    32        Ms. Dibb was available she should come back on Monday to
    33        finish her evidence-in-chief.  But once we have got on to
    34        cross-examination, if anything, it is Mr. Rampton who is
    35        being tested by the interruption in cross-examination
    36        rather than you. You have Ms. Dibb's out in-chief and now
    37        you are just sitting and listening to the cross-examination
    38        thinking what you might want to ask in re-examination.  So,
    39        you are not being inconvenienced by a break in Ms. Dibb's
    40        evidence.  Since I have heard all her evidence-in-chief
         I do not feel I am being inconvenienced either.
    42
    43   MR. MORRIS:  We are not complaining about her being put back.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  When we come to Mr. Siddique and Mr. Stump,
    46        you are right that the principle was Mr. Rampton calls all
    47        the Plaintiffs' witnesses on recycling and waste, and you
    48        call all yours.  We have already had to break into that
    49        because we had, with my usual ability to forget names, the
    50        gentleman from American. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  Mr. Lipsett. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Who had the good sense to go on to Paris as
    55        soon as he had finished here.  You see, we put him in,
    56        although he was one of your witnesses.  What I am
    57        suggesting now is that it would be co-operative and helpful
    58        if you accepted that it does not matter if Mr. Siddique and
    59        Mr. Stump are called after your witnesses or some of your
    60        witnesses, because they are on this discrete issue about
