2 Q. Do you have to work as hard as that any longer now that you
3 are a franchisee?
4 A. Yes. Initially, I do work.
5
6 Q. Do you now have a Manager of your own to run your
7 restaurant?
8 A. Yes, I do.
9
10 Q. Do you remember in 1987 some television people coming to
11 take a film in the Strand restaurant?
12 A. Yes, I do remember.
13
14 Q. Do you remember a lady, who I think was the researcher for
15 that programme, that film, called Anne Tobin; do you
16 remember her?
17 A. I do not remember her, no.
18
19 Q. Have you read the statement which she made for the purposes
20 of this case?
21 A. Yes, I did.
22
23 Q. I am going to ask you, first of all, if I may, about the
24 film itself -- not very many questions. Have you seen the
25 film recently?
26 A. Yes, I have.
27
28 Q. Have you read the transcript of it which we have?
29 A. Yes, I have.
30
31 Q. It shows, we are told, two restaurants -- one is the
32 Strand, and one was the restaurant at Croydon -- in 1987.
33 Obviously, I am not going to ask you any questions about
34 the Croydon restaurant. Did you recognise the Strand
35 restaurant in that film?
36 A. Yes, I did.
37
38 Q. Tell me this: generally, what impression did the film make
39 on you in the picture that it presented of your restaurant
40 in the Strand -- just generally?
41 A. Generally, looks too close and crowded.
42
43 Q. Too -----
44 A. Close, yes. It is recorded closely, instead of being
45 far and taking the whole picture of the restaurant or the
46 kitchen or the front, from my observation.
47
48 Q. The angles were too narrow?
49 A. That is correct.
50
51 Q. Only a very few questions about it, Miss Anteneh. There is
52 shown in it you, I think it is, giving a performance review
53 to somebody called Ade?
54 A. That is correct.
55
56 Q. Do you remember that?
57 A. Yes, I do.
58
59 Q. Do you have any comment about that particular performance
60 review?
