     1        during 1988 weren't you?
     2        A.  I attended its meetings.
     3
     4   Q.   Have you got 102?
     5        A.  Not all of them.
     6
     7   Q.   You say you did not know about McDonald's?
     8        A.  Yes, this was nothing to do with me.  I did not write
     9        it.  The programme.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where are you now?
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  I am in tab 39, my Lord, in pink 1A at page 102.
    14        Mr. Gravett told us, my Lord, that this is part of the
    15        programme for the 1988 anti-McDonald's fayre.  Would you
    16        look at item 5 in that list of 10 things, please, Miss
    17        Steel?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   Q.   It reads:  "It takes 800 square miles of rainforest just to
         keep McDonald's supplied with paper every year"?
    22        A.  Yes.
    23
    24   Q.   At the bottom of the page it says this:  "If you want to
    25        know more about McDonald's and what it does pick up a copy
    26        of London Greenpeace's fact sheet 'What is wrong with
    27        McDonald's?  Everything they don't want you to know' from
    28        the London Greenpeace stall in the foyer."  Do you see
    29        that?
    30        A.  Yes.
    31
    32   Q.   Do you still say that that reference to 800 square miles in
    33        the fact sheet was not a reference to rainforest?
    34        A.  I still say that that is what the fact sheet meant to
    35        me.  I did not write the fact sheet, and Paul did not write
    36        the fact sheet either.  I presume he did the programme
    37        although I don't know, to be honest.  So, whether Paul, if
    38        he wrote this programme, had the same thing in mind as the
    39        person who had written the fact sheet, I don't know.
    40
    Q.   Your defence in this case, Miss Steel, was served some time
    42        ago, I think, in December of 1990 and Further and Better
    43        Particulars may have been earlier, it may have been served
    44        at the same time, Further and Better Particulars of your
    45        defence of justification were served on 3rd December 1990.
    46        A.  Can you hold on, please?
    47
    48   Q.   Have you got copies?
    49        A.  I have actually got a set of pleadings.
    50
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Where is it in the pleadings bundle?
    52
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  It is at page 80 of the pleadings bundle.  I have
    54        extracted them but if your Lordship would prefer to use
    55        the--
    56        A.  We are in the Further and Better Particulars.
    57
    58   Q.   Yes, starts at page 80 of the pleadings bundle.  It is the
    59        first set of particulars, not Further and Better
    60        Particulars?
