Day 161 - 24 Jul 95 - Page 43
1 MR. MORRIS: At the very end, you may remember you heard your
2 own voice. You said: "Voice overs of the type which are
3 coming down: you stay out, stay out, stay out, stay out,
4 stay out." Do you happen to remember what that was about,
5 or might have been about?
6 A. I just do not remember at all.
7
8 Q. Also, there is Peter, again -- I presume from Croydon --
9 saying: "£3,000 hour coming up." Do you know what that is
10 about?
11 A. Probably, the hours they are working is £3,000.
12
13 Q. Takings?
14 A. Takings probably; I could not be sure.
15
16 Q. No. What would be the significance of saying something
17 like that to people, "We have got a £3,000 hour coming up"?
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Does any of this matter? I mean,
20 I assume ---
21
22 MR. MORRIS: I think it does.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- it is that he is hoping he will take
25 £3,000 in that hour, and he is getting near the mark.
26
27 MR. MORRIS: Is that part of getting the adrenalin going for all
28 the staff to be keyed up and ready?
29 A. I cannot comment on that because it does not happen in
30 my restaurant, so I do not know.
31
32 MISS STEEL: Just coming back to the rap session and the OCLs
33 that we were talking about during the film; you were saying
34 -- what was the procedure at the Strand store while you
35 were Manager with regards to the training of crew when they
36 took OCLs and when they would be left to do the work on
37 their own?
38 A. To do OCL there is a given time for each employee when
39 they arrive on the first area they need to work, on what
40 OCLs they need, and after four months they have to complete
41 at least two stations, and they carry onto the next
42 station. So we follow the guideline of the Company which
43 is given to us by the Company doing the OCLs.
44
45 Q. That is in the crew training programme?
46 A. That is correct.
47
48 Q. I think that says after two or three days on a station they
49 do an OCL?
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. Does that accord with your memory?
53 A. Yes.
54
55 Q. Then at the Strand store do they have to do a second OCL
56 before they pass that station?
57 A. They have to complete two OCLs and one test.
58
59 Q. On each station?
60 A. On each station.
