     2   Q.   Is there also a summary of a PR dated, I think, July 1990,
     3        one which appears to have been lost?
     4        A.  Yes, there is.
     5
     6   Q.   There is.  Thank you very much.  Just one question before
     7        you answer the Defendants' questions, Mr. Harney.  It says
     8        in the first line of your statement that you left school in
     9        1984 at the age of 16.  How old are you now?
    10        A.  28.
    11
    12   Q.   28.  Thank you very much.
    13        A.  Thank you.

    15                  Cross-examined by the Defendants
    16
    17   MS. STEEL:   Mr. Harney, you say in your statement that you were
    18        a full-time crew member.  What were the shifts that you
    19        normally worked, or did you not work a consistent pattern?
    20        A.  I was a fully flexed crew member, so I did various
         shifts, yes.
    22
    23   Q.   Right.  That would include the close shift?
    24        A.  No, not when I was 16, because I was not eligible to do
    25        closes then.  I worked until 12 p.m..
    26
    27   Q.   You worked until 12 p.m.?
    28        A.  Yes, midnight -- or 12 midnight, sorry.
    29
    30   Q.   You did actually work past midnight when you were under 18,
    31        did you not?
    32        A.  By five minutes, probably, yes.
    33
    34   Q.   And later than that on some occasions?
    35        A.  Not to my recollection, no.
    36
    37   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Keep your voice up, please, Mr. Harney.
    38        Speak out into the court, even though it is Ms. Steel who
    39        is asking the questions.
    40
    MS. STEEL:   So, you may have done but you do not really
    42        remember?
    43        A.  I cannot really say, no.
    44
    45   Q.   You have said that the notes which you made, which were
    46        supplied to us by the solicitors, were accurate.  You
    47        remember the watering down of food products, do you not?
    48        A.  In what context, sorry?
    49
    50   Q.   At the Colchester store, do you recall the ketchups and the 
    51        shake mix and cola and the mustard being watered down? 
    52        A.  I cannot really say I can, no. 
    53
    54   Q.   You said in the notes, which you have averred as being
    55        correct, that you do recall the watering down of shake mix,
    56        cola, ketchup and mustard.
    57
    58   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where do you see that?
    59
    60   MS. STEEL:   It you look at number 3A and then you look at
