text: Sandra: Hello, is that Pat Simms, used to work at Lister's Fine Clothing in the 1970s and 80s?
  Pat: Yes, it is, which Sandra are you?
  Sandra: Hi, it's Sandra Donovan, now Taylor here! How are you?
  Pat: I'm very well! I haven't seen you girls in about 35 years! I left in 84, we went to run a pub, me and Jonathan.
  Sandra: Well, you'll never believe it, but Brenda Riley tracked me down like this and we met up last weekend! We thought we might get the old Lister's gang together for a reunion, you know, before we're all too old!
  Pat: You're not too old, you were all young girls out of school then!
  Sandra: Yes, but that was almost 50 years ago, Pat! We're all grannies now!
  Pat: Not me, we never had kids, our choice!
  Sandra: You have no regrets, then?
  Pat: Bit personal, dear! No, we retired from the pub 10 years ago, mid-60s, me and Jon have had a ball, cruises, safaris and I've seen my sister in Oz and my brother in Thailand several times.
  Sandra: Oh Pat, that sounds lovely! My husband's still working, but we're planning a special trip to the US in a year or two. Can't wait! He's 66, and has had enough!
  Pat: So, apart from Bren, you found any others?
  Sandra: There was Betty Davies, but she was about 60 when the factory closed in 94, long time ago, if she's alive, I don't suppose she's on Facebook at 84 or something!
  Pat: No, I suppose not, but you never know! I heard Marigold had passed away, you know, the supervisor?
  Sandra: Yes, very sad, not long after Lister's closed, I think.
  Pat: Ok, what about that young girl who loved David Bowie, joined us in about 73, only about 16 she was, I think. She always tried to match his current look, you remember when she did Ziggy Stardust with ginger hair and no eyebrows!
  Sandra: Oh yes, Amanda Johnson, she was even younger than me and Brenda! She's still over 60 now though! She may well be on Facebook, did she get married, do you remember?
  Pat: Not sure, could be tricky tracking all these down, so many common names!
  Sandra: Oh yes, Magda Zielinski was in our section too! Maybe an easier name to find. Her mum was Polish, I think.
  Pat: Oh yes, Magda, what a beauty! She was like one of the girls from Charlie's Angels, the blonde one.
  Sandra: Yes, Farrah Fawcett, with the lovely hairstyle! I think Magda should have been a model, not a machinist!
  Pat: Well, Sand, lovely to hear from you, please keep in touch about the reunion, or just for a chat! Bye!
  Sandra: OK, Pat, hope to see you again, bye!
