Sue Fowler – DfLs

Simon: That there would be a shop in Seaview.

Sue: Yes.

Simon: But I guess there’s money there isn’t it?

Sue: Well yeah, especially through the summer, you know when it’s heaving with DFLs (laughs). As they used to known as.

Simon: Yeah, Down From London, yeah.

Sue: Oh and some of them were so stuck up. You could have put them on a wall and they’d stuck there (laughs). Yeah, there were one or two I could have mentioned but I won’t.

Simon: So, Seaview has always been a sort of summer place where people, have second homes and …still the same now.

Sue: It is, very much so (coughs) and much more expensive now. Well like everywhere isn’t it? Think what you … we bought a house on the corner of Queen’s Road, we owned half of it ‘cos it was in two flats, and we paid £52 a month for the mortgage. £52 and so many pence. Used to go along to the Town Hall in Ryde and pay it over a counter (laughs).
