    10

    13        cross-examination.

    23                  Cross-examined by the Defendants
    24
    25   MS. STEEL:   You said that Marble Arch was one of the busiest
    26        stores in Europe?
    27        A.  In the world, actually.
    28
    29   Q.   In the world, right.
    30        A.  I think the lad said that, did he not?  He said it was
    31        the busiest in Europe.
    32
    33   Q.   Right.  So it would be pretty busy most of the time?
    34        A.  Other than January, February, poor weather, like snow,
    35        for instance, and the peak times, obviously the holidays,
    36        some time Christmas time.
    37
    38   Q.   It would get very busy at lunch time and breakfast time?
    39        A.  More lunch time than the breakfast time, yes, but that
    40        restaurant was one of the busier restaurants for breakfast.
    41
    42   Q.   It was?
    43        A.  But not the busiest in London, no.
    44
    45   Q.   But it did get very busy in their at breakfast time, lunch
    46        time and I do not know whether -----
    47        A.  When people were hungry, yes.
    48
    49   Q.   Sometime around tea time as well?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   Right.  Sorry, if you are agreeing you have to say "yes" 
    53        rather than nod because it does not come out otherwise.
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  When Ms. Steel is asking you questions, can
    56        you try to speak out into the court so that it does not get
    57        lost?
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:   You said you worked alongside Mr. Magill each and
    60        every day?
