1st Man (Episode 340)

The 1st Man was a customer in The Grapes pub where Albert Tatlock and visiting Australian emigrant Ted Ashley went for a drink to relive their youth and revisit old haunts. Both were despondent that a decent Weatherfield pub had turned into a trendy bar with well-to-do posh people who talked of their wealth and looked down on the two old men. The 1st Man used their ashtray before returning to his friend to boast of his new car which had twin carburettors and a four-branch manifold. The two of them weren't impressed a moment later when Albert pushed his way between the two to try and gain the attention of the waiter, Jack.
