4 MR. MORRIS: Yes. Can I just say that actually in the --
5 because I only met Mr. Olive this morning for half-an-hour,
6 but in the sheets, handwritten sheet by myself with all the
7 names of all the different staff members that Mr. Logan has
8 identified, he said that he generally agreed but only with
9 those that were current when he was working at the Bath
10 store.

12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That is so with regard to the notes?
13 A. Yes.
14
15 Q. You can only agree with what was happening while you were
16 there?
17 A. That is right.

43 Q. "To whom it may concern: Since June 1994 I have been the
44 Restaurant Manager at McDonald's in Bath with Danny Olive
