    55   Q.   All right.  Two years in the restaurants ending up as
    56        Restaurant Manager.  Just briefly, Mrs. Barnes, if you can
    57        remember -- it was 12, 13 years ago now -- what was your
    58        impression of the working environment so far as the safety
    59        of the crew members were concerned in those days in
    60        Cheshire?
