     2   Q.   -- it is a computer printout of length of service ---
     3        A.  Yes.
     4
     5   Q.   -- of employees, can you see that?
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   This is national McDonald's figures.  We have looked at
     9        this in great detail with Ms. Mead.
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Do you know Lyn Mead, by the way?
    13        A.  I do, yes.
    14
    15   Q.   You note the length of service column on the left, yes,
    16        0 to 1 month, 1 to 2 months?
    17        A.  Yes.
    18
    19   Q.   You note that next to it it has the quarter -- it has the
    20        percentages of staff with that length of stay?
    21        A.  Where it says "X total"?
    22
    23   Q.   Yes, and then it is actually a percentage total?
    24        A.  Right, yes.
    25
    26   Q.   It is hard to read.  Then there is another one next to
    27        that, the previous quarter percentage total, yes?
    28        A.  Yes.
    29
    30   Q.   Those percentages, if you could cast your eye over those
    31        percentages ---
    32        A.  Yes.
    33
    34   Q.   -- for length of stay, would you say that, in your
    35        experience, those percentages would be accurate for the
    36        length of time employees would stay with the Company before
    37        leaving?
    38        A.  To say "my experience" is a bit difficult because I can
    39        only speak from when I was Restaurant Manager and I become
    40        interested in figures like that, my particular restaurant
    41        had one of the lowest crew turnovers in the Company.  The
    42        only one that was a lower crew member was the staff

    45        worrying problem in my store.
    46
    47   Q.   You have been to quite a lot of different stores?
    48        A.  Yes.

    50   Q.   Are you aware of the various stores you have been to 
    51        roughly the length of stay --- 
    52        A.  Yes, some stores would have ----- 
    53
    54   Q.   -- before people leave?
    55        A.  Yes, some stores would have a higher crew turnover,
    56        yes.
    57
    58   Q.   Those figures there in those two columns for those two
    59        quarters show 56 per cent people length of service less
