1 A. Yes.
2
3 Q. Thank you. Hang on, sorry. Does that generally apply
4 across the board, that "satisfactory" is about the average
5 mark, and extra special people get above that, for other
6 things as well?
7 A. Yes.

11 MISS STEEL: Is this the Strand store?
12 A. It is Croydon.

14 (Video film continued to be played)
15
16 MR. MORRIS: Strand or Croydon, sorry?
17 A. It is Croydon.
18
19 MISS STEEL: I note it is lunchtime. Also, I was just going to
20 ask: in the shops we have seen, the Croydon stores, they
21 would have been distinguishing between the two shores. Was
22 there anything that you have seen in the Croydon store that
23 you would not see happening in the Strand store, in terms
24 of the working practices?
25 A. No; it is just slightly faster, in that I have been to
26 Croydon restaurant; and on this video especially, it looks
27 faster. But there is nothing there which I could say is
28 different at the Strand.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just pause.
31
32 MISS STEEL: Was there anything you saw that would have
33 concerned you if you had seen it going on in a store where
34 you were a Manager?
35 A. No.
36
37 MISS STEEL: Should we break?
38
39 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. We will break there till two o'clock.
40 Over the adjournment, I would like you to give a little bit
41 of thought to how long cross-examination of Miss Anteneh
42 will last, purely and simply because tomorrow is the final
43 day for some time. I will ask you about that when we come
44 back at two.
45
46 (Luncheon Adjournment)
47
48 MISS STEEL: We wanted to carry on with the video, but we were
49 not quite sure what to do, because Miss Brindley-Codd is
50 not here.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let me ask you about timing.
53
54 MISS STEEL: Right, OK. We should be finished by lunchtime
55 tomorrow.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes. If there is any reason to vary that at
58 the end of the afternoon, let me know.
59
60 MISS STEEL: OK.
