     1   MS. STEEL:   Do you remember how often you have had to have a
     2        backdated pay rise because of late performance reviews?
     3        A.  A few; not many lately.  It would be for quite a while
     4        back.  I would say a couple, probably -- I do not know --
     5        three or four, perhaps.
     6
     7   Q.   How far back were they?
     8        A.  How far back what?
     9
    10   Q.   How far back were they backdated, sorry?
    11        A.  The one -- when I had two together it would have been
    12        backdated from when I should have had the first one.  So it
    13        would have been backdated from then, but ------
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I think you are being asked when the
    16        last time was this happened?
    17        A.  I am sorry; probably back in Alan Charlesworth's time
    18        I expect because, I mean, Phil, who is our Store Manager
    19        now and Dave, they were all pretty good managers and they
    20        were always quite efficient with them; so I would say it is
    21        going back to probably Alan Charlesworth's time, which is
    22        something like two or three years.
    23
    24   MS. STEEL:   Actually that is what I was asking.  You were right
    25        the first time.  To when you should have had the first one
    26        they were supposed to be -----
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I see.  You mean, how much was the back
    29        dating?
    30
    31   MS. STEEL:   Yes.  They were supposed to be two or four months
    32        apart?
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   If you had two at the same time, then, is that what you are
    36        saying, or -----
    37        A.  They would have -- I cannot remember personally but I
    38        would have thought they were probably backdated like --
    39        probably, say I had a ten pence pay rise, probably five
    40        pence would have been backdated from when I should have had
    41        the first one.
    42
    43   Q.   That sometimes happened that you had two performance
    44        reviews at the same time?
    45        A.  I can only remember it happening once.
    46
    47   Q.   Right.  While you have still got the performance reviews
    48        out, if you could turn to page 110.  I hope you do not get
    49        too embarrassed by this.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let us just pause then. 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:  It is not embarrassing in -----
    54
    55   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page 110.  Let me turn it up.  I see.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   It says, "Major achievement; you rang supreme among
    58        the crew; your products are spotless" etcetera; "Major
    59        force behind the organisation of crew, training, awareness
    60        of cleanliness problems and organisation of shift change
