      know <.>e</.></[1> nobody had told angela that she WASN'T
      playing oh well that she WAS playing <.>sh</.> <{2><[2>because</[2>
      liz had rung me and then i started to feel oh you know i mean
      maybe angela did really want to play and hadn't been <&>9:00</&>
      asked because i was there and <exhales>oh</exhales> you know and
      it's it's <.>h</.> sometimes you <{3><[3>think</[3> you know
      should i get involved at ALL because you're only going to hurt
      people

  <WSC#DPF078:0785:JA>

      <{2><[2><.>sh</.> you know</[2>

  <WSC#DPF078:0825:JA>
      <[1>mm</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPF078:0830:JA>
      <[2>well i think</[2></{2> that you know i mean angela was
      hoping and praying that somebody else would play and <{1><[1>and
      um</[1> and she was so relieved <{2><[2>but</[2> i mean if you

  <WSC#DPF078:0860:JA>
      you see the thing is too years and years ago when i was married
      and everything i think a lot of the people we associated with
      wouldn't always say things as they really were <{1><[1>and</[1>
      yet they can be <?>pleasant</?>

  <WSC#DPF078:0865:JA>
      <.>they</.> you can feel <{2><[2>very <unclear>word</unclear></[2>

  <WSC#DPF078:0870:NP>
      <[1>no</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPF078:0875:NP>
      <[2>that could be worse</[2></{2> actually

  <WSC#DPF078:0880:NP>
      i <{1><[1>think they can be</[1> worse

  <WSC#DPF078:0885:NP>
      <.>i've</.> you know um you know how the other day when i was at
      choir and um i told um you <&>10:00</&> know people how i was
      feeling a bit more confident <{2><[2>or something

  <WSC#DPF078:0890:NP>
      was that at</[2> choir and i was doing a selfdefence course

  <WSC#DPF078:0895:JA>
      <[1>it was terrible</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPF078:0900:JA>
      <[2>yeah yeah</[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPF078:0905:JA>
      <O>inhales</O> oh wait a minute

  <WSC#DPF078:0910:JA>
      i mightn't have heard that

  <WSC#DPF078:0915:NP>
      <drawls>oh</drawls> <{1><[1>see that's <.>so</.></[1> yeah i was
      doing a selfdefence course <.>and</.> and i've become a lot more
      confident and one of the things that you know i've started to do
      is to stand up for for you know women's rights in the firm that
      <{2><[2>you</[2> know a lot of the wives do a lot of work you
      know in the firm and get no recognition <latch>

  <WSC#DPF078:0920:JA>
      <[1>well you told me</[1></{1>

  <WSC#DPF078:0925:JA>
      <[2><.>s</.></[2></{2>

  <WSC#DPF078:0930:JA>
      mm <latch>

  <WSC#DPF078:0935:NP>
      whatsoever point <unclear>word</unclear> <?>actually</?> <{1><[1>and
      anyway so i thought right</[1> <?>we're</?> going to have a
      wives' committee and you know because these guys they go off
      quite a bit and all the sort of the and the young guys and
      things happen which shouldn't happen <{2><[2>and</[2> you know
      only because wives aren't there and aren't included and you know
      they have little <.>l</.> family time as it is <O>tut</O> so i
      thought right the answer to this is you know we have a wives'
      committee and er we put in a bid whenever these guys go away so
      if they go away for a conference we put in a bid and say yes you
      know we'd like to come along on this conference and we'll pay
      our own way and <{3><[3>we'll</[3> organise activities for
      ourselves and you know um and and book our own accommodation
      <latch>

  <WSC#DPF078:0940:JA>

  <WSC#DPF078:0960:NP>
      but anyway i've got known around the place as <.>rather</.> as a
      bit of a tyrant <{><[>now</[>

  <WSC#DPF078:0965:JA>
      <[><O>laughs</O></[></{> <laughs>bit of a <?>stirrer</?></laughs>

  <WSC#DPF078:0970:NP>
      well only because sure i thought you know that i'd stand up for
      my own rights but you know now i feel really awful that you know
      <.>i</.> <.>i</.> i've got people into trouble because other
      wives have challenged their husbands as to you know why they
      they weren't invited and things like <{><[>that and they've had</[>
      rows with their husbands and husbands have had rows with you
      know other higher members of the management team and it's all
      because of me <&>11:32</&>

  <WSC#DPF078:0975:JA>
