Mr. Orkindale

Mr. Orkindale is the local District Manager for Hatley and the surrounding area. Senior to Parkin, he calls staff by their Christian names and fancies May, even bringing her a bunch of roses from his garden on one occasion. Disliking Mr Parkin as much as everyone else, Orkingdale cheats him out of a place on the bowls club outing, just so he can have a few extra drinks.

He regularly buys tomatoes from Harry, for Mrs. Orkindale's home made chutney.
