     1        A.  Graduates come in, certainly.
     2
     3   Q.   Just to confuse matters even more, do you have some student
     4        workers who are actually full-time, i.e. they work more
     5        than a certain amount of hours but only in evenings and
     6        Saturdays and Sundays?
     7        A.  Sorry, say that again to me?  Do I have student
     8        workers-----
     9
    10   Q.   In any stores in which you have worked have there been
    11        people that are, effectively, full-time because of the
    12        number of hours they work?
    13        A.  OK.
    14
    15   Q.   But they work them outside -- they work them outside the
    16        nine to five hours because they are doing other things at
    17        that time?
    18        A.  No.  As far as I can recall, it may have been probably
    19        a couple of evenings a week and a Saturday maximum,
    20        probably.
    21
    22   Q.   You said that you had your own rented accommodation when
    23        you started?
    24        A.  Yes.
    25
    26   Q.   Presumably you had bills and things?
    27        A.  Right.
    28
    29   Q.   In the stores you worked in, does that make you unusual or
    30        is that something that is quite normal for McDonald's
    31        workers to have their own accommodation?
    32        A.  Yes.  McDonald's workers have their own accommodation.
    33
    34   Q.   Even if they are students?
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think what Mr. Morris is asking is, you
    37        said 70 per cent in Leicester were part-time workers and
    38        I have heard figures like 80 per cent being part-time
    39        workers.  It seems to me that, although they have their own
    40        accommodation and they have their own homes to live in, a
    41        very large proportion of those people must be either
    42        students or people who are still living at home with their
    43        parents?
    44        A.  Right.
    45
    46   Q.   You have given the example of women who have to run a home
    47        as well as do a part-time job and, hopefully, have a
    48        husband who is earning some money as well, or someone they
    49        live with who is earning some money as well.  What sort of
    50        proportion, if you can give any indication at all, of 
    51        McDonald's payroll are people who are supporting house and 
    52        home from their McDonald's earnings? 
    53        A.  I would not have an idea.  I would not have a clue.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  It might be a useful time to stop then.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, very well.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Stanton, that is it as far as you are
    60        concerned today.  I would like you to be back in order to
