     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If I could just go back to the matter
     4        Ms. Steel mentioned about the ruling which I gave on
     5        20th July, on page 19, paragraph 5.
     6
     7   MS. STEEL:   20th November.
     8
     9   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  20th November, yes.  I still have 20th July
    10        on this.  The reason for that, by the way, is that
    11        Mr. Glenn took the facing page -- computerised it -- from
    12        an earlier judgment, and we did not appreciate it was
    13        there.   Page 19, paragraph 5, the first sentence in the
    14        typescript read: "The words across McDonald's Arches were
    15        designed merely to catch the eye and not to encourage
    16        people to read the rest of the leaflet."
    17
    18        The "not" clearly should not be there, as Ms. Steel says.
    19        In fact, the sentence does not make sense with the "not"
    20        there.  But, by the same token, I do not wish to take out
         the paragraph:  "I do not accept that the Arches or the
    22        cartoon catch the eye only, without delivering a message."
    23        That should stay in, because that is consistent with the
    24        matter which Ms. Steel raised.
    25
    26        Did you understand what I said about the form you
    27        have -----
    28
    29   MS. STEEL:  Yes.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am going to take the "not" out, but not
    32        remove the others.
    33
    34   MS. STEEL:  I did actually look up where I said it in the
    35        transcript.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am convinced you were right in the comment
    38        you made.
    39
    40   MS. STEEL:   OK.  If we call Mr. Baker.
    41
    42                          KEITH JOHN BAKER, sworn
    43                        Examined by the Defendants
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:  If you could give your full name and your occupation
    46        to the court, please?
    47        A.  Mr. Keith John Baker, steel erector.
    48
    49   Q.   I have to find your statement.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you want to go to Mr. Baker's statement? 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can you see a volume which has a pale blue
    56        spine on it, Mr. Baker, and a "2" against a green
    57        background, and if you turn to divider number 19, please.
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:   Is your statement there?
    60        A.  Yes, it is -- a bit grotty, but it is there.
