2 Q. That is what you wrote on 15th July 1993 --
3 A. Yes.
4
5 Q. -- for this case. Then further statement, notes -----
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. I would not just read this, because it
8 is your notes of what was taken down. Ask questions.
9
10 MR. MORRIS: Is it the case that after speaking with you I made
11 some notes?
12 A. Yes, it is.
13
14 Q. We will go through it. I will just read it out, and tell
15 me -----
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not read the notes out, because they are
18 your notes; they are not what he has actually said. You
19 will not be handicapped in any way. Just ask questions
20 designed to elicit the evidence.
21
22 MR. MORRIS: OK, yes. (To the witness): Is it true that you

40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well.
41
42 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness) Did you work there in each of
43 those stores in a position of responsibility?
44 A. Yes. I was a Floor Manager at Colchester, and I went
45 on to the salaried management training programme for Milton
46 Keynes; and I worked as a trainer or Floor Manager at the
47 other stores in their initial opening periods.
48
49 Q. At Clacton and Ipswich, were they in the opening periods as
50 well?
51 A. No. I also spent other time there, because they were
52 three stores -- with Colchester, they were the three stores
53 in our group. So, to cover holidays, for instance, I would
54 go.
55
56 MR. MORRIS: I am not sure how to do this without leading
57 questions.
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just pause a moment, and I will help you. It
