                                            SEMIR KHAZNA, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        A.  It was on a day-to-day basis.
     2
     3   Q.   But, I mean, when you say day-to-day, are you talking about
     4        once a day, once a week, once a fortnight?
     5        A.  Could be two, three times a week.
     6
     7   Q.   Two or three times a week?
     8        A.  Not the same staff.
     9
    10   Q.   Right.  How many staff, just a couple or -----
    11        A.  It depends which shift; if it was a day or -- depending
    12        on how many they were short of, then whether Feltham could
    13        supply, they would have.
    14
    15   Q.   What was the maximum number that you remember being
    16        transferred, approximately?
    17        A.  About four.
    18
    19   Q.   About four, right.  But, generally, it would be one or two,
    20        would it?
    21        A.  The four I mentioned I am referring to, like, per
    22        shift.
    23
    24   Q.   Four per shift?
    25        A.  At the most I would probably say is four in one
    26        particular shift was asked to go to work one shift.  It
    27        could have been an evening shift.
    28
    29   Q.   Yes, but what I am saying is you say it happened two or
    30        three times a week.  Generally, on those two or three
    31        occasions, it would be, what, one, two or three people?
    32        A.  Between three and four.
    33
    34   Q.   Between three and four, right.  Just moving on through your
    35        statement, in paragraph 7 you say that it became
    36        increasingly clear to you that Mr. Nevison was not going to
    37        succeed at the store:  "While I tried to help him and
    38        develop his management skills, I felt that he was not being
    39        honest with me and was hiding the problems with staffing
    40        and discipline, but there were also quite large unaccounted
    41        cash discrepancies".  Are these all quite serious problems?
    42        A.  The cash discrepancy?
    43
    44   Q.   Yes.
    45        A.  Yes, it is.
    46
    47   Q.   It is, and the other things, that he was hiding his
    48        problems and he was not being honest with you?
    49        A.  I find that being dishonest with me, yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   That is a serious problem, you consider it to be? 
    52        A.  If my Manager is not being, communicating with me, then 
    53        I find that a problem working in that environment, yes.
    54
    55   Q.   Did you have some kind of personal fall out with
    56        Mr. Nevison?
    57        A.  No.
    58
    59   Q.   No?  This was all on a business level?
    60        A.  Professional basis.
