     2   Q.   If you want to be Store Manager of the Year, you want to
     3        put on your best possible performance, do you not?
     4        A.  That is correct.
     5
     6   Q.   It would not be good if there were lots of trade union
     7        leaflets lying around in the crew room?
     8        A.  It would not be good if there is a lot of McDonald's
     9        environment/index.html">litter in the crew room neither.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did you have any view of what the Area
    12        Supervisor might think if he found a file pile of trade
    13        union leaflets on the crew room table when he went in
    14        there?
    15        A.  I really was not interested, sir.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  You were not interested in what the Area Supervisor
    18        would think?
    19        A.  No, because the crew room had to be clean and tidy.
    20        That is all I was interested in.
    21
    22   Q.   What else did you throw away when you went to the crew room
    23        then?
    24        A.  If there was, like, bags, got a cloth, cleaned the
    25        tables.
    26
    27   Q.   There were some bags in there, were there?
    28        A.  It had just been done.  There might have been like a
    29        bag there or anything on the floor.
    30
    31   Q.   Did you throw that away as well?
    32        A.  Anything that was in the way I threw away.  We are
    33        talking two tables here so .....
    34
    35   Q.   Do you have to ask the crew for permission before you go
    36        into their room?
    37        A.  Into their crew room?
    38
    39   Q.   Yes.
    40        A.  No.
    41
    42   Q.   So it is not really their room, is it?
    43        A.  Yes, it is, but it is also my room.
    44
    45   Q.   It is a room for them but it is not their room?
    46        A.  It is for the crew and the management, just as my
    47        office is for the crew and management.
    48
    49   Q.   It is not a crew room then?  It is a crew and management
    50        room. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Quite frankly, I think that is just ----- 
    53        A.  I did not make the name.  That is the name.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  The crew cannot go into your office and throw
    56        papers away they do not agree with, can they?
    57
    58   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I really do think we have descended into
    59        the playground again.  Can we not stick to what really
    60        matters in this case?
