Mr. Walsh (1972 character)

Mr. Walsh was a mutton-chopped expansive customer of Alan Howard’s Canal Garage in January 1972. He happily paid his bill for work to his car "Old Annie" (his wife's pet name for the vehicle) and said that garages like Canal were few and far between nowadays. His arrival interrupted a heated conversation between Elsie and Alan over the mysterious source of the £2,500.00 that he had used to buy the garage. Several months later she discovered that it was loan from his ex-wife Laura.
