The young girl (ex girlfriend of John perhaps) who caused such angst at Bridge Farm by admiring Tony's work on restoring the Fergie.
What was her name?
The subject has come up in DTA and I shall worry until some kind soul jogs my memory.
Sandy.
Thanks Mike. I was thinking Sam so I wasn't far away. You're spot on. I wonder what happened to poor deluded Sandy?
I can't remember how the storyline finished although I have a feeling that Pat put her foot down. Of course Sandy really was interested in the tractor (and not Tony) - in retrospect that would seem to be rather obvious - but at the time it was difficult to tell. I expect that they hadn't decided how the storyline ended and the director told her to play it straight down the middle (as Ingrid Bergman was told during the shooting of Casablanca, and probably Ruth now).
[PS Let's hope Ruth gets on the plane with the tractor]
[Remember, Rooth, the tractor prefers to be on top...]
Sandy was at college with John Archer and after working on the tractor made organic farming her project for the year. This gave her plenty of excuses to visit the farm and see Tony. It seems that they were attracted to each other (but what she saw in Tony we'll never know).
A false rumour went around that they were having an affair and when Pat heard it she had a row with Sandy, who it appeared had a boyfriend, Trevor, all the time. She has not been heard of since.
This all happened around 1996-97.
I'd forgotten all about her till now. Funny how I can remember somethings from the 50s and 60s and forget what happen last week, like who was Jazzer's girlfriend.
Luv Psi-5
But not before Tony had been banished to the caravan (still there following Sharon's sojourn there before getting a council house).
When Sandie heard about the rumour she laughed uproariously, much to Tony's irritation...
Oh yes, Sandy. Forgotten all about that.
Oh, and Psi-5, wasn't Toyah the name of the girl doing make-up for the panto, causing Jazzer to decide to be a dwarf?
Sandy was Neil's gf, and introduced him to various dubious substances. Could it be the same woman - now of a 'certain age'?

Well hardly, if she was at college with John.

Why, was it a college that banned mature students?
But no, I didn't get the impression she was...
One thing I do remember about the relationship between Tony and Sandy was that she was unable to return home one evening (I can't now remember why) and Tony suggested she sleep overnight in the caravan. All would probably have been well had not Mike Tucker mentioned to Pat that whilst doing his early morning delivery he had noticed that the curtains on the caravan were drawn shut. Tony had some awkward explaining to do as a result but we listeners all knew that the association between him and Sandy was entirely innocent.
