     1        the H groups by this meal, and it is usually in or around
     2        50 per cent.  But for the small children it is really quite
     3        the near the maximum.  Sorry, I was a bit slow.  I did not
     4        at first understand what your Lordship meant.
     5
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am trying to understand the arithmetic.
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  That is undoubtedly right, yes; that is another
     9        way of looking at it.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page 17, which is -----
    12
    13   MR. RAMPTON:  70, my Lord.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    16
    17   MR. RAMPTON:  Can I just, while your Lordship is at that end of
    18        the file, point out a mistake on page 66?
    19
    20   MS. STEEL:   Is that 70 or 17?
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  70.
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, on page 66, note 5, this is table 17, the
    25        second word of note 5 should be 'number', not 'per cent'.
    26        Column 4 is a numbers column, not a percentage column.
    27
    28   MR. MORRIS:  On note 5?
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, at the bottom, the number.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  The number.  My Lord, there is another mistake --
    33        I am sorry about this -- on page 68, just before one gets
    34        to page 70.  It is in the last line before 17, 13, 2.  I do
    35        not know what went wrong with my mental arithmetic.  It is
    36        less than four times the UK total, not less than twice, the
    37        UK total being 22 and a half million.
    38
    39   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry.  Less than two?  Yes.
    40
    MR. RAMPTON:  It is the less than four times the UK total which,
    42        even then, it is a surprisingly small number.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL: So, in the parentheses above 7, 13, 2, it is
    45        less than four times?
    46
    47   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, because the UK total, according to the
    48        Omnimas figures, is 22 and a half million of McDonald's
    49        customers in a year.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL: I would like you, if you will, to take me 
    52        through page 70, so I understand what the workings are 
    53        there and I will look at the source documents, if
    54        necessary.
    55
    56   MR. RAMPTON:  I will need to get my tables out.  I am sorry.
    57        I put a note to myself to explain how it works and somehow
    58        it got on the disk, but it does not matter.
    59
    60        My Lord, one starts with Mr. Fairgrieve's sheets -- well, I
