     2   Q.   Do the local residents use your restaurant to any extent?
     3        Can you tell that they are local people?
     4        A.  It is very difficult to; I know from working in that
     5        area that we have seen local residents in our restaurants
     6        with their children or with their families.  I could not
     7        give you a percentage on how many customers would use it
     8        from the local community.  We have seen a few local
     9        celebrities in the store that live in Chelsea.
    10
    11   Q.   Do you know personally, have you met personally, some of
    12        the local residents that have made complaints about your
    13        store?
    14        A.  Yes, I have, yes.
    15
    16   Q.   For example, have you met a Mr. Ian McIntyre?
    17        A.  To my knowledge, no, I have not met him; I may have in
    18        passing but I do not recall the name.
    19
    20   Q.   You do not recognise the name?
         A.  No.
    22
    23   Q.   Have you read the statement which he made for the purposes
    24        of this case on behalf of the Defendants?
    25        A.  Yes, I have.
    26
    27   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just say, it is Colin McIntyre.  It is Colin
    28        Ian McIntyre, but it is "Colin".
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Does that make any difference?  Do you
    31        recognise a Colin McIntyre by name?
    32        A.  No, I do not, sir.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  How do you deal, Mr. Stump, with the problem which
    35        may exist in greater or less degree of environment/index.html">litter generated by
    36        customers who buy meals at McDonald's to take-away and then
    37        dump the packaging on the street or in somebody's garden or
    38        in their basement area, things of that kind?  How do you in
    39        your capacity cope with that question, that issue?
    40        A.  We have set up what I would call a system to try to
         ensure that the environment/index.html">litter does not become a problem in the
    42        local community.  The main form of defence is trash walks.
    43
    44   Q.   Describe trash walks in as much detail as you can, please.
    45        First of all, by whom are the trash walks done?
    46        A.  In the restaurant there is one person responsible for
    47        the dining area.  He is called the dining area host.  He
    48        has up to six people working in the dining area with him at
    49        any time, and it is his responsibility to delegate either
    50        himself or another person in the dining area to complete a 
    51        trash walk.  This involves following a trash walk map which 
    52        has a section of the area round about the restaurant. 
    53
    54   Q.   Pause there.  Taking the ordinary trash walk organised in
    55        the way you have just described and picking up your map,
    56        what is the area covered by the ordinary trash walk
    57        organised by the dining floor manager?
    58        A.  The main area, they would come out of the restaurant
    59        and they would go down Royal Avenue.
