     1        A.  Their vary.  They vary.  Their staff changes quite
     2        regularly.  We have got quite a good one on at the moment.
     3
     4   Q.   Is that just the collection of rubbish in bags from points
     5        in the street?
     6        A.  No, it is street sweeping.
     7
     8   Q.   So the Council does a street sweeping job as well, is that
     9        right?
    10        A.  Sometimes.
    11
    12   Q.   Are you conscious of the amount of potential environment/index.html">litter that is
    13        generated by McDonald's take-away business during the
    14        course of a day?
    15        A.  Yes, I heard Mr. Stump's evidence.
    16
    17   Q.   Does it not surprise you if there is no environment/index.html">litter patrol and
    18        if, at any rate, for quite lot of the time the Council's
    19        service is irregular, does it not surprise that your street
    20        is not, and exaggerate somewhat, knee deep in environment/index.html">litter?
         A.  It often is.
    22
    23   Q.   It often is?
    24        A.  Well, look at this, yes.
    25
    26   Q.   That is knee deep in environment/index.html">litter, is it?
    27        A.  Well, there is certainly plenty of environment/index.html">litter about.
    28
    29   Q.   I really am making a serious point, Mr. McIntyre.  There
    30        are some items of environment/index.html">litter there, some of which are
    31        McDonald's items.  Turn, for example, if you will, to
    32        photograph No. 7 which is the one of the French students
    33        with the pigeons in it. That is not your street; that is
    34        Wellington Square?
    35        A.  It is Royal Avenue.
    36
    37   Q.   I beg your pardon, Royal Avenue.  There are three pieces of
    38        McDonald's environment/index.html">litter in that photograph, are there not,
    39        identifiable?
    40        A.  I would have say four because the one on the pavement
         look like a McDonald's.
    42
    43   Q.   Maybe it is three; maybe it is four.  Is that taken in
    44        Summer, does it look, late Summer, early Autumn I think you
    45        said?
    46        A.  I would have thought it was late Summer.
    47
    48   Q.   Busy time in the year in the Kings Road, is it not?
    49        A.  It varies, yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   It is a popular shopping tourist area? 
    52        A.  It is. 
    53
    54   Q.   It must be very annoying for the residents at times, I dare
    55        say, but it is a very busy area, is it not?
    56        A.  It is very busy.
    57
    58   Q.   Does it not surprise you to find a mere three or four
    59        pieces of McDonald's environment/index.html">litter there if, as you assert, there
    60        has been no environment/index.html">litter patrol for two and a half years?
