Sue Fowler – You didn’t serve customer at the beginning

Sue:When you first joined, you didn’t … you said, “Hello” to customers but you didn’t serve people. You brushed clothes and polished rails and that sort of thing for quite a little while and then you sort of … especially if somebody was off sick or something, you got more to do with the customer, the clients, which was much more fun than brushing clothes (laughs).

Simon: What was the brushing for then? To get the dust off them.

Sue: Yeah, because they just sat on the rails and they weren’t covered.

Simon: I can’t remember who told me that somebody, maybe this was in previous years, they used to put dust sheets over everything at night.

Sue: Oh yeah. We did that almost up to when I finished, when I left to have my son.
