Sue Fowler – Trepidation when new to the job

Sue: I was in the Knitwear on the second floor and the Underwear, which was all on the same floor, and then there was above that there was offices up on the floor above that, and Stock Storerooms and what have we. But no, it was an experience.

Simon: A bit of trepidation the first …

Sue: Yes first off because it’s so totally different isn’t it from being at school and being with a lot of people your age to go to somewhere where I was the youngest one there.

Simon: And from what we’ve heard from people, it sort of feels like quite a grown-up place.

Sue: Yes, the only thing they did … well, there was a Children’s clothing part there at one stage and then they did a Bridal so we used to get some little ones in for Page Boys and Bridesmaids and what have we, so …

Simon: And did they offer you, ‘well you can go in this Department wherever’ or they just said, “Right, you’re off to Knitwear.”

Sue: Yeah, just off to Knitwear. That’s where the vacancy was, but as I said it was on the same floor as the Underwear and then there were the Work Rooms above.
