     1   Q.   So if, for instance, it were a question of producing the
     2        schedules, if they are still available, for something like
     3        1994 until Mr. Logan left -- let us suppose he left at the
     4        beginning of November, that is ten months; that is
     5        something like 43 or 44 schedules because ----
     6        A.  That is right.
     7
     8   Q.   -- if I worked it out accurately it would probably be about
     9        43 or 44 weeks, but it would mean about ----
    10        A.  300 individual.
    11
    12   Q.   -- 280 or 300 sets of time sheets each something like seven
    13        or eight pages long?
    14        A.  That is right.
    15
    16   MR. MORRIS:  From my understanding of what you said it would be
    17        a total of about 300 pages each week -- I see what you
    18        mean, each day ----
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  There is one every day and each time sheet
    21        seven or eight pages long.  That is what you are telling
    22        me?
    23        A.  That is correct, yes.  Each night you would get a
    24        print-out which would have, for instance, Jagon Flint and
    25        the hours he had worked and there would be a space and the
    26        next person.  It would show you whatever that person --
    27        whichever person clocked in and out that day it would show
    28        you when they clocked in and out, and you would get a
    29        report off each night.
    30
    31   Q.   The long hours or many hours -- because there are only so
    32        many minutes in an hour -- so the large number of hours or
    33        shifts close together tend to happen in the summer time, do
    34        they, if they happen at all in Bath, or is that not right?
    35        A.  Probably the summer time or Christmas, as they are the
    36        two busiest periods.  But we do actually employ more people
    37        then than we would do for the rest of the year, so ...
    38        I mean, the only reason there is, for people that have
    39        excessive hours, is if they want them.  There is no reason
    40        for us to have to schedule them.
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  The actual schedules rather than time sheets, the
    43        schedules are a weekly document?
    44        A.  That is right; every week.
    45
    46   Q.   How many pages are the schedules?  Is it one sheet that is
    47        put on the notice board?
    48        A.  It used to be two or three sheets.  It is now about a
    49        dozen sheets because the computer prints out a lot of
    50        reports that are associated with the schedule.  So the 
    51        computer -- when it was handwritten you used to be able to 
    52        get on maybe three sheets.  Now the computer prints a part 
    53        of a day with some reports for that day, then another part
    54        of a day on another piece of paper so they are altogether.
    55
    56   Q.   Right.  What about for 1994, was that hand done at that
    57        time?
    58        A.  That, until about the middle of 1994, was handwritten;
    59        yes, about June or July when we had the refit.
