     1
     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not remember seeing it.  (Handed)
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:   (To the witness)  Do you see in the letter that it
     5        says in the second paragraph that: "The night of the 16th
     6        was marked by the worst hurricane in the South East in
     7        200 years, which effectively stopped most of the problem,
     8        although we had demonstrations at about 25 stores during
     9        the day"?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   There is no reference there to a picket of Head Office, is
    13        there?
    14        A.  No.
    15
    16   Q.   But there is a reference to the hurricane, which you do not
    17        remember as being on that date?
    18        A.  That is right.
    19
    20   Q.   Would you accept that your memory is, obviously, not as
         good as you hoped it was?
    22        A.  No.  I do not connect the two at all.
    23
    24   Q.   Can you then turn to tab 24, please, in the same -----
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I would like someone to tell me to put that
    27        in due course.
    28
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, maybe it is best if it is goes behind
    30        Mr. Carroll's statement -- the simplest thing I can think
    31        of.  It may be that Mrs. Brinley-Codd has already put it
    32        behind, for your Lordship, Mr. Nicholson's statement.  She
    33        seems to be uncertain about that.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I will have a look later.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:   (To the witness)  Do you see that this is some kind
    38        of press release from Greenpeace London, dated
    39        October 1988?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   When you were giving evidence, you said the 1988 picket was
    43        on October 16th and that it was much the same as the
    44        others.  Do you see that in this leaflet it refers to
    45        October 16th being on a Sunday?
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   Q.   In which case, you would not have been in the office on
    49        that day, would you?
    50        A.  No.  It was not held -- the demonstration outside the 
    51        office was not held on a Sunday. 
    52 
    53   Q.   So it was not held on October 16th, like you said it was?
    54        A.  No, no.  Sorry, I missed it by a day.
    55
    56   Q.   Do you see that there is no mention on there of a picket of
    57        Head Office?
    58        A.  No.  It just says that you are going to have your usual
    59        day of action against McDonald's.
