     1        A.  Because they wanted to.
     2
     3   Q.   Is it, in your view, a good idea for, let us say, a 20 year
     4        old to works six hours and then five hours on the trot?
     5        A.  No, but saying that, it depends on the individual as
     6        well.
     7
     8   Q.   When you first started who did the scheduling?
     9        A.  After about three weeks I then took it over.  I had
    10        seen what a mess it was and then took it over straightaway.
    11
    12   Q.   Did you do it yourself all the time?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   For how long?
    16        A.  About a year, a year two months.
    17
    18   Q.   Were you able then after that to get help from your
    19        assistants?
    20        A.  Yes.  The assistant I mentioned earlier, once he had
         been fully trained on it, everything I knew, I felt he was
    22        capable to take the responsibility on, but it was not a
    23        hand down and that is it.  I have to spend at least an hour
    24        per week checking it before it went up.
    25
    26   Q.   Did he do it to your satisfaction?
    27        A.  Yes.
    28
    29   Q.   This evidence you are giving, Mr. Giardina, is to some
    30        considerable extent based on what Mr. Magee has alleged
    31        which I know you have read.  Therefore, you must forgive me
    32        if it is not completely systematic. Can I ask you -----
    33
    34   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I wondered about that, and whether and, if
    35        so, to what extent you wanted to ask Mr. Giardina to aver
    36        his statement or statements.
    37
    38   MR. RAMPTON:  About Mr. Magee?
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  In so far as they refer to Mr. Magee, rather
         than go through item by item.  It would firstly save time;
    42        it may well be also that the Defendants are concentrating
    43        on the way it is expressed in the statements, I do not
    44        know.
    45
    46   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, in large part when I say "unsystematic",
    47        I did not mean to say that I was going to dot around all
    48        over the place.  In large part, I am going to deal with
    49        generalities because of course in dealing with generalities
    50        Mr. Magee has answered. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am not saying you should do it one way or 
    53        the other.  I am just suggesting that since
    54        Mrs. Brinley-Codd or someone has gone to the trouble,
    55        clearly, of taking Mr. Giardina through Mr. Magee's
    56        allegations in his statement and his answers have been set
    57        out -----
    58
    59   MR. RAMPTON:  May I gratefully adopt that suggestion?
    60        (To the witness):  Mr. Giardina, are you willing that your
