abstract	Leonard Swindley was manager of the Rosamund Street branch of clothing retailer Gamma Garments from 1962 to 1965, owned by Greek tycoon Niklos Papagopolous. Coming from a family of drapers, Swindley continued the proud tradition, operating with a firm belief that the customer is always right. Swindley was also chairman of the Mission committee and lay preacher for the Glad Tidings Mission Hall in Coronation Street from 1960 to 1965, where he had frequent run-ins with caretaker Ena Sharples. His assistant both in the Mission and at Gamma was Emily Nugent, with whom he formed a close relationship which led to them becoming engaged to be married in 1964. Emily jilted Swindley at the altar but they were able to salvage their friendship. 1965 saw a big change for Swindley as he took on a job as assistant manager at department store Dobson and Hawkes. In the following two years, he teetered on the brink of losing his job as his ineptitude at accomplishing the most simple of tasks, or perhaps just continual bad luck, put him at loggerheads with managers Ernest Parbold and later Wally Hunt. After being sacked from Dobson and Hawkes in 1966, Swindley and Hunt travelled the country as professional speakers on the subject of Astrology.
