     2   MR. MORRIS:  Yes, right.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is your target?
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  Shall I give my game away?
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I think your approach work has gone on for a
     9        bit of time now, so why not have a bash at the actual
    10        target?
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:  All right then, to summarise.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have admired your foot work for a while.
    15        I would just put it straight to him, and then if you are
    16        not happy with the answer I am not going to say that is
    17        that; you can try it again.  I am not encouraging you to,
    18        but why not see what the answer is first.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  Some people could be on the books for a
    21        considerable period of time and only work Saturdays?
    22        A.  Yes.
    23
    24   Q.   And they would not necessarily work every Saturday, would
    25        they?  They might work one Saturday in two, or something
    26        like that?
    27        A.  It is my experience that if they are only available on
    28        a Saturday they generally worked every Saturday.
    29
    30   Q.   So how many people -- Saturday is an important day; how
    31        many people, say as an example, it could be Colchester or
    32        Leicester -- say Leicester, because we have looked at
    33        Leicester; we are talking about something like you would
    34        need 25 people available for Saturday as opposed to 12 on a
    35        Monday, or something, or Tuesday lunch time; how many
    36        people -- to cover Saturday how many people would you
    37        actually have available?  What I am saying is if you had to
    38        get 25 people, what was your pool of Saturday availability
    39        to work from?  Do you understand what I am saying?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   Of the people that just wanted to work Saturdays, say you
    43        wanted to use 20 of those every Saturday, what was your
    44        pool to work from?
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me put it to you.  Let us imagine the
    47        situation, as I understand may well have been the situation
    48        in Leicester, where, putting salaried management staff on
    49        one side, you have got about 25 crew; is that what you were
    50        saying, or were you including salaried management? 
    51        A.  No, that was excluding salaried managers. 
    52 
    53   Q.   So you have 25 crew.  How many of those 25 crew, if you can
    54        say -- because for all I know you do not have the foggiest
    55        idea now eight years later, rather more than eight years
    56        later; ten years later -- what proportion of the 25 crew
    57        you find in the Leicester restaurant on a Saturday would be
    58        Saturday only part-timers?  Can you give any indication?
    59        A.  What proportion on any Saturday -- I do not think I can
    60        recall a specific figure.  Of the hundred I had on the
