Private Notes
Leonard Swindley starts his new job as Assistant Manager at Dobson and Hawks Department Store. He soon becomes attached to his job in more ways than one when store boss Ernest Parbold sends him to the bank to deposit his specimen signature and collect some change. However when he reaches the bank he realises that he has lost the key to the handcuffs for the money bag he is carrying.
Leonard Swindley tries his hand at super salemanship. His task from Mr Parbold is to land a big order for Dobson and Hawks for a school uniform concession from the headmistress of the local girls school, Miss Buxton, known at all as "Frankenstein's Grandmother". Swindley's old-world charm has made him a big hit with the ladies of Dobson and Hawks.
Mr. Parbold decides that, in order to bring the store in-line with average takings across the chain, someone must be sacked. He leaves Swindley with the task, and unsurprisingly the rest of the workforce aren't too pleased.
Mr Swindley's attempt to organise a charity event for the local Chamber of Commerce inevitably make it a "do" to remember!
With the popular quotation "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" firmly on his mind, Leonard Swindley has to make a very difficult decision...
He never thought he would see it happen but Mr Swindley becomes a father - although only for a day!
It may not be Sherwood Forest but Mr Swindley meets a modern day Robin Hood.
With Mr Parbold away, Mr Swindley is made 'King for the day' and finds out the truth behind the popular saying "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown"!
There are crossed wires at Dobson and Hawks when the staff plan a surprise for Mr Swindley - unfortunately so does Mr Parbold!
Mr Swindley has to take on the role of a responsible parent and finds himself in more trouble ...
Leonard Swindley turns up for dinner with Sir Charles Dobson but gets the distinct feeling that he is an uninvited guest!
In an attempt to recruit new staff for the store, Mr Swindley is sent to attend Careers Day at Brookfield High School with orders to bring back the cream and not the clots!
