     1        A.  Well, I have -- Paul Preston did say how I was the
     2        finest washer woman in Holloway when I am doing the
     3        cleaning, so that was  .....
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did you say "washer woman"?
     6        A.  "Washer woman," yes.
     7
     8   MS. STEEL:  So you are regarded as something of a star crew?
     9        A.  I hope so.
    10
    11   Q.   Do you think that has been the case for a while, a few
    12        years?
    13        A.  I hope ever since I have been there, hopefully.
    14
    15   Q.   Do you know of the local store marketing magazine?
    16        A.  Yes, there is one.
    17
    18   Q.   Yes.  Do you regularly get copies of that?
    19        A.  Yes, I have -- well, when I last saw one was just after
    20        Christmas, I think.
    21
    22   Q.   Is that one of the ways in which the Company suggests means
    23        of -----
    24        A.  No, the magazine is specially stating what other stores
    25        have done, you know, in their stores.
    26
    27   Q.   Presumably, if it sounds successful, that is the kind of
    28        thing that you might take it up yourselves?
    29        A.  Yes, certainly.
    30
    31   MR. MORRIS:  You said in your statement that if you were
    32        required to work through a break ---
    33        A.  Yes.
    34
    35   Q.   -- you would either be offered a later break or allowed to
    36        leave the shift early?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   That is the case, yes?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   Q.   That is still the same now, is it?  That is the situation?
    43        A.  Yes, it can happen now, yes.
    44
    45   Q.   Right.  So that happens from time to time, does it?
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   Q.   I mean to you?
    49        A.  Yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   How often does that happen? 
    52        A.  It can be once a week. 
    53
    54   Q.   That kind of thing would happen to other crew members as
    55        well?
    56        A.  Oh, yes, certainly in the busy times, yes.
    57
    58   Q.   Do you remember when you used to be paid for breaks?
    59        A.  Yes.
