     1        A.  Yes.
     2
     3   Q.   Right.
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  An OCL does review your performance even if
     6        it is a not a formal performance review?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:   You said there were, I think, out of between 110
    10        and 200 crew members six crew who were earning over £3 an
    11        hour, yes?
    12        A.  Yes.
    13
    14   Q.   Were they the lobby hostesses or the kind of equivalent to
    15         -- I think there is some parallel position to that as
    16        well, is there not?
    17        A.  Administration assistants, one was a morning cleaner.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I just pause, are you saying that those
    20        six were other than normal crew?
    21        A.  None -- no, I was making that reference in terms of not
    22        being managers.  I probably had about eight or 10 floor
    23        managers that were on over that amount of money, but that
    24        reference to six people would be people that were not
    25        managers.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:   So they might be lobby hosts, training squads?
    28        A.  Admin Assistants, a morning cleaner, yes.
    29
    30   Q.   Right.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If it might have some importance, is what you
    33        are saying then that they would not be ordinary crew
    34        members?
    35        A.  I was only answering the point that -----
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Forget what the point is.  I am just seeking
    38        information.  Were there any ordinary crew members, that
    39        is, someone who was not a member of the training squad, or
    40        a lobby host, ordinary crew working on the tills or in
    41        kitchens or cleaning up tables, who were earning £3 or
    42        more?
    43        A.  The answer to that would be no.
    44
    45   MS. STEEL:   Do you know what the purpose of clock-cards being
    46        divided into 100 units was?
    47        A.  What the purpose was?
    48
    49   Q.   Yes, rather than being 60, 60, I cannot remember whether it
    50        was seconds or minutes -- minutes? 
    51        A.  Yes, 50 units would be half hour. 
    52 
    53   Q.   Right, but do you know why it was not just 30 minutes?
    54        A.  I suppose because it was not like a digital computer.
    55        It was a punch card system.  I suppose it can be as
    56        accurate as what we have today in terms of -----
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What occurs to me is that 60 is not -- the
    59        one minute is not refined enough, you want to be more
    60        precise than that?
