A cocky travelling electrical repairman "from the posh part
of Droylesden". He turned up in the Street early in 1982
in his VW campervan and started taking in work. After his van
broke down, Betty Turpin took
pity on him and let him lodge with him. He got a job at Baldwin's
Casuals, but after blowing up a machine (not knowing about 3-phase
electricity) he got the sack. Soft-hearted Betty lent him £40
to get his van back on the road.
He turned up again about 6 weeks later to repay her, only to
sleep in the van in Coronation Street overnight and find the van
propped on bricks and his wheels stolen in the morning. He re-borrowed
the £40 off Betty and moved back in with her. Eddie
Yeats, for once doing someone a kindness, located another
set of wheels for Alec in a scrapyard - only to find they were
Alec's wheels. Alec refused to pay up and Eddie was out of pocket.
