1 Manager over his work on the buns, if you think back to

3 A. I honestly cannot remember an argument between them.
4
5 Q. Do you remember when he left he had been discontented and
6 that he had had a row with the Store Manager?
7 A. I cannot remember the exact circumstances of him

9
10 Q. Do you remember that he was discontented and that is why he
11 left?
12 A. I honestly cannot say.
13
14 Q. You cannot remember?
15 A. A lot of that time when I was First Assistant I was not
16 always First Assistant in East Ham. I spent a lot of it in
17 Walthamstow, in Barking and in various other restaurants.
18 So, I was not there 100 per cent of the time so I honestly
19 cannot say I can remember it.
20
21 Q. So does that mean that you would do that on odd days, you
22 would go to other stores or what?
23 A. No, I was actually working for, like, two, three months
