Day 188 - 15 Nov 95 - Page 44


     
     1   Q.   So at busy periods one expects to find general hubbub, does
     2        one not?
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   Q.   People moving around quickly?
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   People having to shout what they need for the continuance
     9        of the operation, because the noise is so great?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Have you ever been in a street market?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   It is quite similar, is it not?
    16        A.  I think the noise level might be similar, but the
    17        attitude of the street traders is not the same.  So, yes,
    18        there is a lot of noise and a lot of people shouting to be
    19        heard.
    20
    21   Q.   Yes, that is right.
    22        A.  They do not necessarily shout at their staff to get
    23        moving and work harder, which is what I think was happening
    24        in -----
    25
    26   Q.   That, I understand, is what you meant when you wrote in the
    27        statement "the abuse of staff was constant"?
    28        A.  Yes.
    29
    30   Q.   At the bottom -- I hope it is at the bottom -- yes, towards
    31        the bottom of the second page of your statement, there is a
    32        reference to the rap session?
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   Do you remember?
    36        A.  Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   On the next page, page 3, the first complete paragraph:
    39        "This was fairly typical" -- do you see that?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   Third page?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.  "This was fairly typical of attitudes throughout our
    46        filming.  During a rap session, one of the crew members who
    47        did not want to go, he thought they were a waste of time
    48        since nobody took any real notice of them."
    49
    50        First question: that is what he said to you, is it? 
    51        A.  Yes. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Then you say: ".....was ordered by his Store Manager to
    54        attend."  Yes?
    55        A.  Yes.
    56
    57   Q.   Do you remember the name of that crew member?
    58        A.  I would think -- I think it was probably Tony, but
    59        I would not care to swear to it.  It is a long time ago.
