4 MR. ATKINSON: Now, it is alleged that he worked 60 to 70 hour
5 weeks in 1990 to 1991. What do you say about that? Do you
6 have any recollection one way or the other?
7 A. He did work extremely long shifts and so did Mack
8 Williams and that was because the two of them were saving
9 up to go round the world.
10
11 Q. Sorry?
12 A. They were saving up to go round the world. Mack
13 Williams is still in Canada now. He has a Canadian
14 passport, but they needed the money to go round Europe and
15 to go round -- they visited South East Asia, so that is why
16 they ----
17
18 Q. Are you saying they wanted to work?
19 A. Yes. It was very much voluntarily. It is not the kind
20 of thing we encourage. If anything, we have to discourage
21 them from working those hours.
22
23 Q. When you say he worked extremely long hours, 60 to 70 hours
24 or less or more?
25 A. Probably 60, yes. He would work maybe six days and do
26 a nine or a ten hour shift each day.
27
28 Q. But for how long was he doing that?
29 A. It was -- he went over the summer, say about a month
30 and a half, six, eight weeks.

33 A. Still works for the Company now.

35 Q. At Bath?
36 A. At Bath.

41 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just pause a moment. Yes.
42
43 MR. ATKINSON: Do you remember any complaints by him about late
44 performance reviews?
45 A. I do not, no. If he has a complaint he has not voiced
46 it to me.
47
48 Q. Do you know of any particular problem?
49 A. I do not know whether he has had PRs that have been
50 given to him late or not; certainly not by me.
51
52 Q. Then Shelly Smith; do you know her?
53 A. Yes. She is a crew member at Bath. She joined the
54 same sort of time as Mike Logan because they were boyfriend
55 and girlfriend and so length of service was the same as
56 his; about four and a half years.
57
58 Q. Kevin Perrit, was he a crew member?
59 A. He is now a Manager, he is a breakfast Manager, but he
