George, a weights and measures inspector, called into the Corner Shop in May 1961 with his boss, the senior Inspector, to check Florrie Lindley's scales. Putting one of their own weights on to it they both agreed that it was two ounces out of adjustment and that Florrie was giving that amount short in every pound that she sold. Linda Cheveski had just bought some bacon and the Inspector asked to retain the purchase to check it, promising that it would given back to her if she could call in later. Credited as "Weights and Measures Assistant", the character was named in dialogue.
