It was all about bolts , he was a car mechanic so not only dealt with nuts and bolts he bolted after Granville seeking revenge for the air horn incident . As the milk round supervisor he advised Granville to stick to his bolts when Granville is flirting with the Milk Woman. the Supervisor's girlfriend.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Open All Hours , nice little tribute on BBC Breakfast from Graham McCann and the presenter of Look North in Yorkshire who had interviewed Sir Roy some years ago and is a huge fan . At the conclusion of the interview he had asked Sir Roy to let him have a small role as an extra and deliver a line .
He got his wish some years later when he appeared in Still Open , the episode where they had the oversized stuffed mouse which got wet . Granville has Leroy hold it by the tail and spin around to dry it . Leroy lets go and it hits a cyclist knocking him of the bike , the Look North presenter was the Cyclist . He had an anecdote, on the first take David Jason was directed to walk around him but suggested it would be funnier if he stepped over the Cyclist to get the Mouse which he did and it made a far funnier scene.

I noted that Peter Levy from Look North also got a couple of scenes in SOAH
