     1        McDonald's define it, then I am not going to disagree.
     2
     3   Q.   Ms. Dibb, can you -- I know it is not perhaps entirely
     4        fair, so I forgive you if you cannot be exhaustive; maybe
     5        it is best that I ask the question, then we have the break,
     6        and then you give me the answer afterwards -- write down on
     7        a little piece of paper the sorts of outlets that you see
     8        as falling within the quick service restaurant sector of
     9        the eating-out market?
    10        A.  Well, I referred earlier to advertising expenditure,
    11        and I indicated on that the relative amounts of advertising
    12        by those companies which I thought would be considered to
    13        be rivals to McDonald's.  If that is useful, perhaps we can
    14        refer back to that.
    15
    16   Q.   Maybe that is best, but if you would like a little bit of
    17        time to find it?
    18        A.  I have it here.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If we have the break now, if you would like
    21        to look at that?  The other aspect in relation to Ms. Dibb,
    22        if it has not already been sorted out, give a bit of
    23        thought to when it is least inconvenient for her to come
    24        back.
    25
    26                            (Short Adjournment)
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you care to pick a moment at 4 o'clock or
    29        even just before, Mr. Rampton, if you are not going to
    30        finish your cross-examination anyway today, and then that
    31        will leave a moment or two to discuss the arrangements for
    32        Ms. Dibb without finishing too late.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, certainly -- also since once again it is
    35        Friday.
    36        (To the witness):  Have you an answer to my question now?
    37        A.  Yes, the document that I referred to yesterday which is
    38        the document from Campaign magazine ---
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I remember the one.
    41        A.  -- the companies that McDonald's, I would consider, are
    42        likely to consider its rivals within the sector that you
    43        have just defined are here as Burger King, Kentucky Fried
    44        Chicken and Pizza Hut.
    45
    46   Q.   I would like you, if you would not mind -- I know it is
    47        boring but you may find it enlightening -- to take a volume
    48        from behind you No. 5 of the yellow bundles which is headed
    49        "Nutrition".  Please turn to tab 3 where you should find a
    50        statement by somebody called Alistair Fairgrieve? 
    51        A.  Yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   If you would be so good enough to turn to the back of that
    54        statement, you will find an exhibit or appendix called AF1
    55        which, I hope, consists of a number of coloured charts,
    56        does it?
    57        A.  I do not think I have found it.
    58
    59   Q.   If you would like to go right beyond the end of the typed
    60        written statement, see if you get to AF1?
