Day 195 - 04 Dec 95 - Page 34
1 period, about three months. I do not know whether the
2 diary contains any other entries which may be relevant.
3 I assume it is the diary for the whole year.
4
5 THE WITNESS: No, it is not a diary -- I mean, I am not very
6 good at keeping a diary, so for some reason I recorded only
7 those days and a few more days, but there is a gap between
8 those days and the rest of them.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Wait and see if Mr. Rampton asks you more
11 about that but, in principle, the whole diary is
12 disclosable, if you still have it. If there are any
13 personal details in it which you do not want to disclose,
14 tell me about them and we will think of some way of
15 covering them up.
16
17 THE WITNESS: OK.
18
19 MR. MORRIS: Your evidence is that these were the only weeks
20 which were complete?
21 A. These were -- which were continuous, yes.
22
23 Q. There are a few odds days?
24 A. There were a few odd days after that.
25
26 Q. Can you just explain starting on March 20th, just for
27 example, give us an idea of what you mean? The first one
28 we have is Thursday, March 20th.
29 A. OK. "4.00 to close" means that I was scheduled from
30 4 o'clock and finishing at close, and 4 o'clock, when you
31 are scheduled for 4 o'clock, it means that you arrive at
32 the store at 3.45 and are ready -- you are ready to clock
33 in at 4 o'clock.
34
35 Q. It says "off sick" so that would be the day -----
36 A. So that particular day I did not go to work. I was off
37 sick.
38
39 Q. Then we have "10.15 to 5.00"?
40 A. That is 10.15 in the morning to 5 o'clock in the
41 afternoon.
42
43 Q. I think it is pretty clear. I will just go through
44 Saturday 22nd, 8.30 to 5.00, 2.45 to close. When you say
45 "close" in these entries, was that a specific time or what
46 was the general -----
47 A. I think the general picture is what I have given in my
48 statement, that close was meant -- I was certainly under
49 the impression that close meant 12 o'clock, 12 midnight,
50 but we regularly went over that. So, these closes that
51 I have put down are actually when I was scheduled to work,
52 and then for some reason sometimes I have crossed it out
53 and put another shift in there and that is when I actually
54 did work.
55
56 Q. Right, so these would be scheduled times unless they are
57 crossed out and amended?
58 A. Yes, sometimes I have made a mistake with the day and
59 removed it to another one as well, but it is not a general
60 rule but ......
