     1   MISS STEEL:  Yes, I think so, if that is OK.
     2
     3   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  (To the witness)  Did you ever go to Croydon
     4        at all?
     5        A.  Yes, I did.
     6
     7   Q.   In what capacity was that?
     8        A.  We exchanged ideas, so from time to time I go and work
     9        there; like, three times, four times a year, I did go and
    10        work all day there.
    11
    12   Q.   When you were at the Strand?
    13        A.  That is correct, when I was at the Strand.
    14
    15   Q.   What did you do when you got there on those three or four
    16        days a year?
    17        A.  Work with Restaurant Managers for new ideas, and that.
    18
    19   Q.   Did you actually do any work in the store itself?
    20        A.  Cooking and serving?
    21
    22   Q.   Yes.
    23        A.  No, sir.
    24
    25   Q.   You just observed what was going on?
    26        A.  That is correct.
    27
    28   MISS STEEL:  Was that because that store was also one of the
    29        busiest stores?
    30        A.  That is correct.
    31
    32   Q.   Can you see the video?
    33        A.  No.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Would you like to come and sit next to
    36        Mr. Hill?  If Ms. Steel or Mr. Morris want to ask you any
    37        question as it goes along, do not think it discourteous if
    38        they speak from behind.  You just listen and then speak out
    39        the answer.   You do not have to stand up or turn round.
    40
    41   MR. MORRIS:  Is the current equipment a lot easier to use than
    42        the previous one -- because, you remember, we had problems
    43        with stopping and starting.
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us see how we go.
    46
    47                      (The video film was played)
    48
    49   MISS STEEL:  Is that the Strand store?
    50        A.  Yes -- that is the Croydon one. 
    51 
    52   MR. MORRIS:  That is Croydon, as well? 
    53        A.  That is correct.
    54
    55   MISS STEEL:  Is that the Strand store?  Is this also the Strand
    56        store?
    57        A.  That is correct.
    58
    59   Q.   That is the Strand?
    60        A.  Yes, it is.
