     1   Q.   To the sheet which is handwritten by myself, dated on the
     2        second -----
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   What were you referring to in your letter
     5        when you said you had read Mr. Logan's statement and you
     6        confirmed that the unprofessional practices mentioned did
     7        occur; can you remember now?
     8        A.   It is the first ten pages.
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  You have seen the other sheets, have you?
    11        A.  Sure, I have seen those since I wrote that letter to
    12        you dated 24th January, 1996.
    13
    14   Q.   Right.  Was there anything in the rest that you disagreed
    15        with?
    16        A.   No, there was not.
    17
    18   Q.   Right.  So, subject to those specific things that you
    19        mentioned in your statement, your very brief statements,
    20        you agree with the matters that Mr. Logan raised?
    21        A.   Yes.
    22
    23   Q.   Can I just ask you one question.  You were only actually at
    24        Bath since -- what time did you work at the Bath store
    25        from?
    26        A.   October '93 when I started University at Bath.
    27
    28   Q.   How long have you actually worked for McDonald's?
    29        A.   Since September '89.
    30
    31   Q.   Since September '89, and was your impression of other
    32        stores any different -----
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:   No, my Lord.  This is wholly objectionable.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not having that.
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  Several times Mr. Morris has assured us that there
    39        is no further statement at your Lordship's bidding.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You must keep it within the confines of what
    42        is there.
    43
    44   MR. MORRIS:  OK.  The next thing I will read is -- we will look
    45        at Mr. Logan's statement in a minute -- we will look at
    46        your resignation letter, if you can have it in front of
    47        you?
    48        A.   Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   Wednesday, 19th April, 1995: "To whom it may concern:  I 
    51        write to you to give notice of my resignation.  I have been 
    52        forced to terminate my employment due to the intolerable 
    53        pressures under which I have been placed.  They are as
    54        follows:  (1) I do not have the necessary qualifications
    55        required to run shifts; ie, first aid, shift Running
    56        Manager's course.  (2) Lack of support.  Forced to run
    57        shifts without adequate support; ie, other qualified
    58        managers and sufficient amounts of crew.
    59        (3) Paid a tiny amount of money for such a huge
    60        responsibility (i.e. holding the)" -- is that "safe"?
