     1        A.  On a McDonald's store, yes.
     2
     3   Q.   To check product quality.  How long has that been happening
     4        or when was that introduced?
     5        A.  It was in place before or when I joined, so it was
     6        going since at least 1989.
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:  While you have that file open, if you turn to tab 5,
     9        please?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Can you just explain what these forms represent?  Are they
    13        a weekly summary?
    14        A.  These are, yes, a weekly summary sheet.
    15
    16   Q.   Are these the ones that are supplied to you as your weekly
    17        summary?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  As I understand it, looking at the
         specification, there are some things which you are sent as
    22        a matter of course, or should be, by McKey's?  There are
    23        other things which you can go to McKey's and look at, if
    24        you wish?
    25        A.  Yes, that is right.
    26
    27   Q.   What is sent to you are summaries, and these are examples
    28        of summaries which are sent to you; these are not ones you
    29        go along and ask for, these are the documents which are
    30        sent as a matter of course?
    31        A.  Exactly.  We ask them at the end of the week to sit
    32        down and go through the daily sheets that they have, and
    33        these would be far too numerous for us to send in and
    34        review.  We ask them to go through it and compile a summary
    35        sheet, exactly that of that week, so even if we do not
    36        visit the facility in the week, we have a good picture of
    37        what is going on there.
    38
    39   MS. STEEL:  So there is one summary sheet for each type of
    40        product for each week; is that right?  I am just looking at
         the headings.
    42        A.  Yes, there is a summary sheet for each product, yes.
    43
    44   Q.   This is it, you do not get anything beyond that?
    45        A.  No, not unless we ask for something specific.
    46
    47   Q.   How long do you keep these records for?
    48        A.  I would say at least three years.
    49
    50   Q.   Three years? 
    51        A.  I think we keep them for three years.  Yes, I would say 
    52        three years. 
    53
    54   Q.   You said you had never seen a microbiological sheet that
    55        had given you a shiver.  What kind of thing would you be
    56        looking for to give you a shiver?
    57        A.  That was your terminology -- not mine.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It was not actually; it was the way
    60        Mr. Rampton put the question and you just said "no" with a
