     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just pause a moment.  On a very rough basis
     3        that would just about cover your weekly pay for the four or
     4        five weeks?
     5        A.  Yes.
     6
     7   Q.   I work out that if you work 24 two-weekly periods, you get
     8        paid £720 which would be about four or five weeks' wages
     9        which is the amount you are taking on holiday?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   So if we multiply 140 or 145 by 52, we have pretty well got
    13        your net annual income as the Breakfast Manager?
    14        A.  Yes, I should say so.
    15
    16   Q.   Just take time to think about it.  Does that seem right to
    17        you?
    18        A.  I think so, yes.
    19
    20   Q.   So you are probably earning something like about seven and
    21        a half thousand pounds a year net for the work you do?
    22        A.  I would not like to swear on it.
    23
    24   Q.   I think it comes out at about that ---
    25        A.  Yes.
    26
    27   Q.   -- just doing it in my head.  I have made a note in my
    28        notebook about seven and a half thousand pounds per annum
    29        net.  So, if anyone thinks that is wrong, I will be very
    30        happy to have the correct sum put to me in due course.
    31        Yes, thank you.
    32
    33   MR. MORRIS:  Do you pay rent or have you got a mortgage?
    34        A.  No, I live at home with my parents.  I just pay
    35        housekeeping.
    36
    37   Q.   Is the job you have got a cushy job or do you work pretty
    38        hard?
    39        A.  I work very hard.  I consider myself to work very hard.
    40
    41   Q.   Do people at McDonald's generally work very hard?
    42        A.  Yes, they do.
    43
    44   Q.   I mean, crew people?
    45        A.  Crew, yes.
    46
    47   Q.   Nobody else in the Bath store has guaranteed hours, have
    48        they?
    49        A.  Well, I have not got guaranteed hours.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He was very careful to say "set" hours when 
    52        you put "guaranteed" to him. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  OK.  (To the witness):  Nobody else at the Bath
    55        store has got set hours where they have worked the same
    56        shifts as they wanted, exactly as they have wanted, for
    57        years and years?
    58        A.  I would say that is true, yes.
    59
    60   Q.   Saturday is a time when the store is, as we have heard -- I
