9 Cross-examined by the Defendants
10
11 MR. MORRIS: Just for clarification, was the first actual store
12 you worked in in 1991?
13 A. No, the first actual store I worked in was in 1988
14 which was at Sutton Coldfield branch.
15
16 Q. Right. You moved to the Bath store in 1991?
17 A. That is correct.
18
19 Q. Right. On page 2 of your statement -- I am, sort of,
20 working through your statement -- Paul Scott Shepherd, you
21 say it is correct that he worked a lot of shifts; what s
22 the most days in a row you think he may have worked?
23 A. This schedule may have crossed weeks; typically, the
24 maximum day would be six days. It typically would have
25 been five days he would have worked.
26
27 Q. He would not have worked more than five days in a row?
28 A. Five days in a row.
29
30 Q. What I am saying is, how many days in a row do you think he
31 may have worked at the most? Mr. Logan has said that he
32 understands that Paul Scott Shepherd worked a lot of shifts
33 as something critical of the Company.
34 A. Yes.
35
36 Q. Let us say, was it possible he could have worked seven days
37 in a row, something like that?
38 A. No, I would not have thought he would have worked seven
39 days in a row.
40
41 Q. Why not?
42 A. Because his schedule was tended -- it is done on a
43 weekly basis and so, typically, during that period there
44 would be two days off.
45
46 Q. Right. Does McDonald's sometimes schedule people for seven
47 days in a row?
48 A. No, it is not common practice to schedule people seven
49 days in a row.
50
51 Q. It happens sometimes then, does it?
52 A. It may actually -- it may occur that someone may work
53 those days.
54
55 Q. So some people might work seven days in a row at
56 McDonald's? They do, in your experience, some people have
57 worked seven days in a row?
58 A. Some may.
59
60 Q. Can you recall?
