                                             KIM MOFFATT, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   Q.   -- to those that were employed the rest of the year?
     3        A.  What, did we employ different people?
     4
     5   Q.   Yes.
     6        A.  We may have done.  We might have employed -- I do not
     7        really understand.
     8
     9   Q.   Well, some stores we have heard about, there would be a lot
    10        of students working over the summer breaks, and things like
    11        that, that would not be working during term time.
    12        A.  Not really.  I could not remember one.  There might
    13        have been one or two.  I cannot really recall that, no.
    14
    15   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Can I just check:  this is on the Bath road,
    16        which is the A4?
    17        A.  Yes.
    18
    19   Q.   Or still is the A4?
    20        A.  I am not sure.
    21
    22   Q.   If you want to keep off the motorways or not get stuck
    23        going round and round in circles near Heathrow, this is the
    24        main east/west road?
    25        A.  That is right, yes.
    26
    27   Q.   I see the address on the plan is Skyways Garage Triangle,
    28        Heathrow?
    29        A.  Yes.
    30
    31   Q.   So anyone can pull off the A4, going in either direction,
    32        can they -- the Bath road?
    33        A.  They can.  They obviously have to cross the flow of
    34        traffic on the other side, but yes, they can.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Thank you.
    37
    38   MS. STEEL:   Do you basically, because you are doing the admin
    39        side, not really know about, you know, things like the
    40        amount of trade there was in the summer compared to the
    41        winter, and the amount of crews that there were working,
    42        and things like that?
    43        A.  No, I do know.  Obviously, I have worked for the
    44        Company for nearly 10 years, so I am quite aware of busy
    45        periods; and I was a Manager as well.
    46
    47   Q.   Would it not be fair to say that during the summer, for
    48        example, there would be an increase in the tourist trade,
    49        people on their way to the airport on or the way back?
    50        A.  I do not -- I think Heathrow is very constant. 
    51        I think, yes, there might have been a bit, but it was not a 
    52        huge rush like in seasonal places.  I do not really 
    53        understand.
    54
    55   Q.   Have you worked in other stores?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   MR. MORRIS:  Do you know roughly what the turnover figures for
    59        the summer is?  It just strikes me as logical that in a
    60        store at Heathrow in the summer ---
