     1        mean?
     2        A.  That is end of the 12th month of 1992.  So, this is the
     3        consolidated P & L for the Company for 1992.
     4
     5   Q.   For the whole year?
     6        A.  For the whole year.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  Can I just ask about this document?  It seems like
     9        it is two pages -- it seems like there are two pages.  I do
    10        not know if we have the same or it is an incorrect
    11        photocopy or what, because the one on the left-hand side is
    12        incomplete.  Does anybody know?
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Perhaps we had better know the provenance of
    15        the document and whether it is a complete or what,
    16        Mr. Rampton.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I only have a single sheet so I cannot
    19        help Mr. Morris.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL (To the witness):  Is this familiar to you?
    22        A.  Yes, it is, my Lord.
    23
    24   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You can still be asked then.
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  Tell his Lordship what it is, I mean, where it
    27        comes from.
    28        A.  Yes, this is an extract from the final P & L for the
    29        Company at 31st December 1992.
    30
    31   Q.   "P & L" means "profit and loss", does it?
    32        A.  P & L means profit and loss, sorry, yes.  The blank
    33        above would contain the cost of the food that we have sold.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  The?
    36        A.  The cost of the food that we have sold.  Then
    37        underneath, the rest of it, would be all the other costs of
    38        running the industry.
    39
    40   Q.   So you start with an item which is 1, whatever that is, and
    41        an item which is 2, whatever that is?
    42        A.  Yes, that is right.
    43
    44   Q.   Then when you get down to 21 under the heading of
    45        "Controllable expenses" you have got ---
    46        A.  These four items.
    47
    48   Q.   -- four items which relate to pay?
    49        A.  That is right, my Lord.
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  Can someone just ask Mr. Nicholson what the 
    52        left-hand side of the page is as well because that is 
    53        slightly obscured?
    54
    55   MR. RAMPTON:  It says "date" and "time".
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is it that you do not have or think you
    58        do not have, Mr. Morris?
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  It does not say exactly what the figures on the
