BRISTOW
A buying clerk (18th in line for Chief Buyer!) with the monolithic
Chester-Perry organisation. Bristow is unmarried, of uncertain age,
and an ineffectual rebel. Although he dislikes his job intensely he
would fight to keep it. Hoping the world is listening, he gives his
opinions on life to anyone around, and if no one is around, is quite
happy talking to himself. As far as work goes he is an inveterate
slacker who professes to hate red tape, but is only too keen to use
it whenever it suits him. He lives in a bed sit in East Winchley from
where he travels to work on the 8:15 commuter special.

up. Jones is married (her photograph faces the wall!) and also lives in
the commuter belt. |

FUDGE
is the Establishment. The Chief Buyer who rules with an iron hand. A man
of few words ("GET ON WITH YOUR WORK!") We know nothing and
need to know nothing about this man. He is THE BOSS!
