                                            PAUL LEMAIRE, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        you to think about is this:  some of the people I have
     2        heard are going to have hated McDonald's; some of the
     3        people I have heard are going to have loved it.  What may
     4        be more important is to see what the generality of
     5        conditions of work are for the generality of people who are
     6        not one extreme or the other.
     7
     8   MR. MORRIS:  The point is, the only people that have loved it so
     9        far are people still in the employment of McDonald's.  They
    10        cannot find a single person outside their employ to come in
    11        and say what -----
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is the last thing I am going to say.  If
    14        you apply your mind to what the system is, what general
    15        themes you can get out of it, then at the end of the day
    16        pick on the ones which you think help your point and make
    17        sure I have taken them on board.
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  I am just seeing what to go on to next.
    20
    21        (To the witness):  How many times did you do double shifts,
    22        say, in an average month?
    23        A.  As a Manager?
    24
    25   Q.   Yes, as a Floor Manager?
    26        A.  None, to my knowledge.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Have you told me how old you are?
    29        A.  How -----
    30
    31   Q.   How old you are?
    32        A.  21.
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   Thank you.
    35
    36   MR. RAMPTON:  I think the evidence was 22 in March.
    37
    38   THE WITNESS:  That is correct.
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I thought I had heard something.
    41        I could not remember.
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:   In paragraph 4 of your statement -- I do not know
    44        whether you have that there?
    45        A.  Well .....
    46
    47   Q.   I do not know where it is, to be honest.
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is yellow XB, and divider 39M, please.
    50        A.  Paragraph -- sorry? 
    51 
    52   MS. STEEL:   Paragraph 4. 
    53        A.  OK.
    54
    55   Q.   In the middle of the paragraph, you say that you have
    56        always assumed that anyone working on the shift after
    57        12 o'clock was over 18.  Why did you assume that?
    58        A.  Because, as a Manager, when you check to see if people
    59        are under 18, when you go and check what time they clocked
    60        in and out, you need a password, and I had not obtained
