6
7 Q. You have no idea in that store in -----
8 A. I would have to work back through, like, takings and

10 specific number of hours you were allowed to give out or
11 something?
12
13 Q. No.
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No. I would be very surprised if he could
16 remember this. (To the witness): You are being asked if
17 you can remember what the total number of scheduled hours
18 for Marble Arch would be in an ordinary sort of week?
19 A. I could not -- probably a lot.

46 any one time -- crew, sorry, I should say?
47 A. In any particular month?
48
49 Q. If you do one further non-summer and one for the
50 summer -----
51 A. It is very hard for me to say because having a dining
52 area that has a seating capacity of 350 on five levels, I
53 would have at times 15 to 20 people working there, at other
54 times I might have five people working there.
55
56 Q. You mean in the whole store?
57 A. In the dining area -- to give you one idea, in the

59 day -----
