Anyone else thought they could have done a crossover with Open All Hours.

For example they trio go to Doncaster with Sid/Wally to meet a relative of Compo's or even Cleggs, and they live on the same street where Arkwright's shop is, and they go into the shop to buy something, or they could do a scene outside and see Arkwright climbing at Glady's window or see Granville on a delivery.

I certainly think of Roy Clarkes creations S/OAH has the most similarities to Summer Wine, I think Roy perhaps recycled some of his unused LOTSW scripts in Still Open All Hours. A cross over would have been really funny, I'd love to have seen Arkwright meet Auntie Wainwright!
 
I do often think Auntie Wainwright was sort of a replacement on Arkwright, because Ronnie Barker had retired from acting in the late 1980s, and I think Open All Hours wouldn't have ever thought of being brought back.
 
There are several lines used in both series so there's been some crossover scripts.
Granville asks Awkright if he believes there's a destiny that shapes our ends, and Clegg has said that a couple of times, Gladys calls Awkright a barmpot. Awkright refers to Granvilles little flamers as a nuclear deterrent and Crush is referred to that too. To name a few.
 
Remember a scene in Forked Lightning where there's a scene in which Sid runs around outside on Clegg's Bike, something similar happens in an episode of Open All Hours in which Arkwright is doing the same but he ends up colliding into Gladys car
