     1        to the 5 is simply an indicator of, if you like, a sort of
     2        warning standard.
     3
     4   Q.   So this would be in a particular bin, yes?
     5        A.  I think this is ---
     6
     7   Q.   Or averaged over a number of bins?
     8        A.  -- this is an average document, a summary document.
     9
    10   Q.   So, for example, when it says "GR Light 1.60 x 03", that is
    11        the average for the 64 bins above or that is a high?
    12        A.  Yes, the highest reading was 1.6; the lowest reading
    13        was 3.1; the average was 3.9 over 64 bins.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There was not any point in filling the
    16        percentages in there, was there, because you have only to
    17        look down the low column to see that none was ---
    18        A.  That is correct.
    19
    20   Q.   -- anywhere near 5,000,000?
         A.  That is correct.
    22
    23   MR. MORRIS:  So, the high and the low, one of them would be the
    24        highest result for a bin?
    25        A.  That is correct.
    26
    27   Q.   So a sample would be taken from a bin which would contain,
    28        whatever, 500 chicken carcasses, would it, or some figure
    29        of actual carcasses?
    30        A.  Yes, I do not know how many carcasses.  You are talking
    31        about a bin of light meat there which is breast meat.
    32
    33   Q.   Would that have been cut off the bone already?
    34        A.  Yes.
    35
    36   Q.   So is this for the whole month of August then?
    37        A.  It looks like it, yes.
    38
    39   Q.   So for the whole month of August you only received 140 or
    40        something bins for the whole of McDonald's products?
         A.  Can I explain what this document is?  Grandstand Road
    42        is one supplier of meat.  It supplies light meat and skin
    43        and Blaenavon, which supplies thigh meat, that is the Sun
    44        Valley supply only.
    45
    46   Q.   And the "Incoming", which is from other companies, yes?
    47        A.  I am not sure what that refers to.
    48
    49   Q.   So Sun Valley only provided, in your understanding, about
    50        100, something just less than 100, bins in a whole month? 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I must say I would have thought that they 
    53        were optimistic if they thought one bin would get dealt
    54        with in France in the month of August, but Orleon does work
    55        through August, does it?
    56        A.  Yes, we are obliged to carry on working.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Customers are still eating just as many chicken
    59        products in this country?
    60        A.  Although it is a frozen product the production has to
