     1        A.  I believe so.  The top is cut off on my copy.
     2
     3   Q.   My question is this:  Have you looked to see whether there
     4        is any earlier document of a similar type?
     5        A.  Yes, and there is not.  It was not produced in
     6        that -----
     7
     8   Q.   Sometimes I cannot hear.  It is very bad acoustics in
     9        here.  I am a bit deaf anyway and you speak quite quietly.
    10        Can you shout at me a bit, please?
    11        A.  I am sorry, I have forgotten the question.  It was
    12        about when -----
    13
    14   Q.   Whether there is in any earlier document like this which
    15        still exists?
    16        A.  No, there is not, no.  I do not think there ever was
    17        one, to be honest.
    18
    19   Q.   I see.  Again let me ask you, if I may, how is this
    20        information obtained?  What is the method?
    21        A.  Do you mean, how does it appear on this table?
    22
    23   Q.   No, no, I want to know where the original data, how they
    24        are collected?
    25        A.  Right.  The Manager inputs the code, the number, into
    26        the computer, into the payroll system, when terminating the
    27        person's employment record on the computer.
    28
    29   Q.   If we keep, if we need to, the code in one hand and the
    30        table in the other, we can perhaps understand what this
    31        document is telling us.  The first item is "return to
    32        school or college", yes?
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   That is given as a reason in nearly 23 per cent of the
    36        cases of people leaving?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   Is that right?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   "Medical", that is insignificant.  "Crew" -- is that crew
    43        to salaried position within the Company?
    44        A.  Yes.
    45
    46   Q.   That is under 1 per cent.  Then (4) is "Personal".  That is
    47        a big percentage, nearly 23 per cent.  Then there is
    48        "Retirement", "End of temporary employment mutually
    49        agreed", "Transferred out of the United Kingdom", No. 9?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   That is to a McDonald's post somewhere outside the UK? 
    53        A.  Yes, there would not be so many in the hourly paid.
    54
    55   Q.   Sorry?
    56        A.  There would not be lots of those in the hourly paid.
    57
    58   Q.   No, but there is just over 2 per cent of that.  Then there
    59        is a another big category (11) "Without notice", which is
    60        just over 19 per cent.
