Bicycle inner tube repair man for the ladies. Now that you mentioned it I do recall Pearl saying that. Have wondered as well what that may have been.

 

[Barrychuckle]

I'm guessing it was possibly be some sort of agricultural worker would be the most likely given the area....

Not at Atkinsons Bakery then ?

Given his stature and to ensure any brides who married during the war perhaps he was a reusable groom on top of any wedding cakes at the wedding receptions . With sugar in short supply they couldn't make the normal bride and grooms for the top of the cake so Howard stepped in as one half of the model couple.

Cleaning windows?!

 

[Adrian Morris]

I'm sure he worked in a bakery.

In 'Three Men And A Mangle' Marina says Howard was a former employee of the power industry.
In 'Some Vans Can Make You Deaf' Pearl says during the war Howard delivered for Kendall's Bakery.

Didn't Howard and Pearl also go courting near a bakery? Kinda remember them talking about leaning against the bakery wall and it being very warm.

Yes, but can you remember who had their back to that wall
