1 Q. So you would, what ----
2 A. And Trudie Jones as well, sorry.
3
4 Q. Where would you see this? You would be in the Manager's
5 office, would you, standing over their shoulders watching
6 them do it?
7 A. No, because in the back room we had a desk where the
8 Managers would sit and work, and I was doing the cleaning
9 up or washing up and I would have seen that happening.
10
11 Q. You would be looking over the Manager's shoulder while he
12 was -----
13 A. It was literally about a metre away from where we were
14 working, and also you could see the clock cards were there
15 for everybody to see if they wanted to see it. They were
16 hung on the walls, so it would not have been difficult to
17 see what was going on.
18
19 Q. Can you turn to page 13, please?
20 A. Yes.
21
22 Q. The second complete sentence: "I was also told by the
23 Managers, but I am not entirely sure that I remember
24 correctly, that the target set for the store was 17 per
25 cent"?
26 A. Yes.
27
28 Q. Right? Which Manager told you that, do you remember? You
29 put it in the plural, you see?
30 A. I do not remember, I am afraid.
31
32 Q. You do not remember but you are sure of the figure, are
33 you?
34 A. No, I am not sure. I am saying that I am not entirely
35 sure that I remember that percentage correctly. I mean,
36 I do remember what actually happened, but what the target
37 was, I am not sure about.
38
39 Q. What do you mean, you remember what actually happened?
40 A. I mean, the percentage, labour percentage, being 12,
41 13, 14 per cent.
42
43 Q. You remember it being 12, 13; how do you know it was 12,
44 13, 14 per cent -----
45 A. I explained earlier, it was actually on the chart which
46 was stuck above the desk, the Manager's desk, downstairs
47 again where he was working.
48
49 Q. As a weekly target you are saying, are you?
50 A. No, no, not as -- the actual figures were entered in
51 the chart every night.
52
53 Q. The achievement was entered in the chart, not the target?
54 A. No, the achievement, what they had achieved.
55
56 Q. Please turn to page 14.
57 A. Yes.
58
59 Q. You write -- it is after the manuscript bit ---
60 A. Yes.
