     1        remember bringing copies, certainly not a large number of
     2        copies, myself.
     3
     4   Q.   Right.  So it is possible there could have been a few
     5        there?
     6        A.   It is possible that there could have been a few there,
     7        yes, yes.  I mean, I do not think I even brought the -- did
     8        the stall that year, I was not on the stall.  I did not put
     9        the leaflets myself.  I was too involved in doing other
    10        things.  I certainly do not remember seeing piles of fact
    11        sheets.  In fact, there were not piles of fact sheets left
    12        by then.  I mean, that was a fact.  They had dwindled
    13        away.  There were not many left by October   of '89, they
    14        had almost run out.
    15
    16   Q.   Okay.
    17        A.   Veggies were there as well, so they probably brought
    18        some of their version.  I mean, they were there on the day.
    19
    20   Q.   Okay.  Now if you turn to page 37 of the notes, which
         should be the notes of 23rd November 1989?
    22        A.   Yes.
    23
    24   Q.   It says in the middle paragraph that:
    25
    26        "Paul Gravett has said that he is going to write and
    27        publish a pamphlet on the facts against McDonald's although
    28        no date was to be given as to when he expected this to be
    29        finished"?
    30        A.  Yes.
    31
    32   Q.   Then it goes on to say:
    33
    34        "This is expected to be a full and lengthy pamphlet as
    35        opposed to the leaflets which they currently have."
    36
    37        Later on there are actually references to you going to
    38        write a leaflet as well?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    Q.   Do you remember what the situation was over this year?
    42        A.   Yes.  I mean, as I was saying earlier, by the end
    43        of '89 the fact sheet had almost run out.  We had a few
    44        copies left in the office that we kept back, what we called
    45        library copies, and from time to time, perhaps, some people
    46        might bring some in that they had found.  We would
    47        sometimes say, like, to people " If you have got any fact
    48        sheets at home, please bring them in because we are running
    49        very low on them".
    50
    51        I was also concerned though at this time that we should
    52        maybe update the fact sheets in some way.  Not because I
    53        thought the information in the fact sheet was incorrect,
    54        but simply that, you know, there had been some
    55        developments.  I mean, we were talking about over three
    56        years since it had been written by this stage and, for
    57        instance, in the intervening period the film Jungleburger
    58        has been shown, the film about destruction of tropical
    59        rainforests, and we had a copy of that by then, and I
    60        thought that this was additional, you know, evidence
