Wayne Pickles was a young lad who delivered newspapers for The Kabin between 1987 and 1988. Wayne started an argument with the management when pensioner Harry Ashton was taken on and got Priscilla Millbanks to back him in giving Rita Fairclough and Mavis Riley an ultimatum that Harry be sacked or they'd quit, the grounds that the allowances made for Harry because of his age were unfair on them. Wayne was determined to have his way and made cracks about Harry's age when he saw him in the street. Credited as "Paperboy" in Episode 2781 and "Wayne" in Episodes 2799 and 2800.
