1 just because, you know, the profit was good or you develop
2 10 people.

4 MS. STEEL: You said about your understanding of "hustle" being
5 servicing the customers efficiently. Is that the current
6 understanding that you are referring to, is that your
7 current understanding?
8 A. No, I do not think we refer to "hustle" actually now.
9
10 Q. You do not refer to it now, so it has been dropped?
11 A. I do not think it is on the counter OCL any more.
12
13 Q. Are you aware of a memorandum going round to all the store
14 managers about "hustle"?
15 A. No.
16
17 Q. You never received a copy?
18 A. I cannot recall one, sorry.
19
20 Q. About three years ago, three and a half years ago?
21 A. I cannot recall, sorry.
22
23 Q. Perhaps you could have a look at the memo and see whether
24 you do remember seeing it. It is in pink volume XIII
25 behind you.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is right behind you, XIII.
28
29 MS. STEEL: It is not in there, apparently.
30
31 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Where did it go?
32 A. Who is it from?
33
34 Q. Just wait a moment, Mr. Atkinson. Did it go behind
35 Mr. Oakley?
36
37 MS. STEEL: No, it was only served a couple of weeks ago. It is
38 supposed to be in pink volume XIII, tab 57V.
39
40 MR. RAMPTON: It will go in pink volume XIII when
41 Mrs. Brinley-Codd has had time to do it.
42
43 MS. STEEL: I am trying to assist the judge who may have it in
44 his bundle, thank you.
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It may be in mine already. That is the only
47 reason I am asking. Can someone remember? Yes 57V.
48
49 MS. STEEL: 57V.
50
51 MR. RAMPTON: I am told it is "W". It should be "W".
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: In Mrs. Brinley-Codd's own writing I have 57V
54 -- someone's own writing anyway.
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: That is another huge administrative blunder, my
57 Lord.
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It does not matter. (To the witness): You
60 have the copy there now?
