     2   Q.   Has that come up from the Royal Hospital Wards Association
     3        as well, that particular -----
     4        A.  Among other things, yes.
     5
     6   Q.   So in terms of the environment/index.html">litter which you have seen in the area,
     7        the photographs you have shown, are they typical of environment/index.html">litter
     8        on the streets -- not the bags outside the store -- is that
     9        typical or untypical of the streets that we are concerned
    10        with around the store?
    11        A.  Well, I would say it was typical, but it is not all the
    12        time.  Obviously, I only photograph it when it looks
    13        particularly unsightly.  I would not say it is the worst
    14        case but it is the worst case when I happened to have my
    15        camera with me.
    16
    17   Q.   Actually, I cannot remember the photographs because I only
    18        looked at them briefly.  Was there something where it was
    19        down the side of a car?
    20        A.  Yes, that was the night photograph, No. 6, and on the
         pavement.
    22
    23   Q.   You said something about environment/index.html">litter in basements, I think?
    24        A.  Yes.
    25
    26   Q.   Is that your basement or in other places?
    27        A.  It is in everybody's basement, yes.  That is a problem,
    28        of course, because most of us keep our basements locked so
    29        that nobody could get to clear it if there was a environment/index.html">litter
    30        patrol.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They are locked and, presumably, you would
    33        not anyone just wandering down there even if they were not
    34        locked?
    35        A.  That is right, sir.
    36
    37   Q.   You would like some warning that someone was going to come
    38        in or, preferably, ask your permission, presumably?
    39        A.  One of our residents did, in fact, make a big issue
    40        that and said she did not want people wandering into her
         area way.  Most of us has been burgled through the front
    42        area way.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  I am trying to get an idea of the environment/index.html">litter, a picture
    45        of the environment/index.html">litter, that may be generally around, the levels of
    46        environment/index.html">litter and where it is as you walk around those streets?
    47        A.  Well, I did a count just in Smith Street, just one side
    48        of the street, on I think it was last Sunday and there were
    49        12 items identifiably McDonald's.
    50 
    51   Q.   What time of day was that? 
    52        A.  That was in roughly early evening, it was just getting 
    53        dark.
    54
    55   Q.   What is that, 5 o'clock or something like that?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Give me an idea about that.  Were they all in
    59        one immediate area or is it, for instance, two, three, four
    60        inconsiderate people in a car who have just sat there,
