Listening problem

http://kiwi6.com/file/9fbmp64qvy (Bottom left-hand corner)

Please have a listen to the recording extracted first.

As this recording has no script, I'd like to invite native speakers to help me proofread my script so as to improve my listening skills. Thank you for your help very much!!!

The script I've written:

It’s a quite serious place but it’s certainly not formal. People wear pretty much what they want to wear.

And most people are on first-name terms, aren’t they?

Yes, they are. That means that they don’t call each other Mr Smith or Mrs Jones. They call each other Brian and Keith.

Walking around here most the time, people you see look pretty casual, don’t they?

Yes, casual means the opposite of formal. It’s another way of saying informal.
