Chip Simmonite( Tony Haygarth; 1973) is Compo's relative from the series 1 episode "Pate and Chips". Chip and his wife Connie with their children and dog, take the Yorkshire trio to a large country home for a 'bit of culture' in a cramped van for transport (much to Cyril's disgust). When they arrive at the country home Cyril points out that Chip hasn't renewed his Road Fund Licence since 1967. Julie T. Wallace; 2000–2001) Lolita "Lolly" Minerva Avery, known as Mrs. Avery to most, was Tom's live-in "associate"; much larger than him, and something of a battle-axe, yet rather easily manipulated. Although Tom always insisted that she was merely an acquaintance, Mrs Avery always wanted more, and was under the impression that Tom had promised to marry her. After a brief spell of living in the pair's bus, they moved into the deceased Compo's home, next-door to Nora Batty. During her stay at Compo's home, she began a rivalry with Nora, often copying each other (cleaning their windows or vacuuming their rugs). This was not to last; she threw Tom out and disappeared from the series after two years on the show. The strength of the relationships built on Habbo is easy to see on the game’s dedicated subreddit: r/habbo. One user talks about how they met their fiance on the game six years ago, while countless others hope to be reunited with friends they once knew. These were relationships that, while formed through pixelated avatars, helped people to discover who they were – or wanted to become. Throughout the show guest characters have appeared more than once in the series making several appearances.

Despite an apparently strong record of authentication, however, there is doubt as to whether hobo signs were ever actually in practical use by hoboes. They may simply have been invented early on by a writer or writers seeking to add to the folklore surrounding hoboes soon after they acquired the name, an invention perpetuated and embellished by others over the years, aided occasionally by amenable hoboes themselves. [17] Several hoboes during the days that the signs were reportedly most in use asserted that they were in fact a "popular fancy" or "a fabrication". [17] Nels Anderson, who both hoboed himself and studied hoboes extensively for a University of Chicago master's thesis, [17] wrote in 1932, Hoboes were noted for, among other things, the distinctive lingo that arose among them. Some examples follow:Barry is often trying out new hobbies in an attempt to stop his life being humdrum; and in more recent years, has made a number of attempts to fit in at a local golf club, often upsetting the golf captain "the Major". Though he clearly loved his wife he was afraid to kiss her in public, out of fear of being judged by the neighbours. He was also afraid of his mother in law Edie, largely because she (along with the other ladies) would often judge Barry or accuse him of being guilty. In later series Barry became more regularly involved in the schemes of the main trio and in series 28–29 was often involved in schemes with Alvin, Entwistle and Howard. After being introduced in the feature-length "Uncle of the Bride" in 1986, which centres around Barry and Glenda's wedding, Barry was much-mentioned but not seen for around six years when Mike Grady originally left to pursue several other television projects, before returning as a regular from 1996 thereafter.

From 2005 on, he has not only been mentioned by name, but also calls on Barry for social visits, with Barry not being too thrilled at this newfound friendship.
