Arnold Swift Arnold Swift was a fussy pensioner friend of Percy Sugden . Comparatively similar , the two differed in their attitudes to women . Arnold regarded Percy was someone who messed about , relating a story to Jack Duckworth about a time where he had a couple of ladies on a bowling club final but Percy wouldn ' t make a move . Arnold bragged that , unlike Percy , he wouldn ' t hesitate if he saw a woman he fancied , save for time to think , weigh it all up , find out her background , get the picture , and sleep on it . In August 1988 , when Percy needed someone to occupy Phyllis Pearce ' s attentions during the Street outing to Blackpool , he knew just the person to call and met with his old friend Arnold at the Rovers , Arnold accepting the invitation at short notice due to Percy offering to buy the drinks . Having busted his dentures on a stick of rock that last time he was in Blackpool , Arnold wasn ' t keen to return and didn ' t put his name down for the trip until he had assurances from Percy that the mystery widow woman he was being fixed up with was , as Percy put it , ripe as a Victoria plum , and would have something to say for herself . On boarding the coach , Arnold found Phyllis keeping the seat next to her empty for Percy . However , on learning that Percy had been quite specific about Arnold ' s seat number , Phyllis realised Percy was avoiding her and decided to enjoy herself with Arnold . The pair ended up having such a good time relaxing in a hotel bar that they were late for the coach home and it ended up leaving without them . Arnold impressed Phyllis by arranging with a friend to get them seats on another coach , and when they returned home they started seeing each other as friends . Percy ' s reaction to the development was one of astonishment , particularly when Arnold thanked him for putting him onto the trip . Nevertheless , Percy was happy to be free of Phyllis for the time being . A few months later , when Phyllis missed a lunch date with Arnold at the Rovers due to work , Arnold received a potted history of Percy and Phyllis ' s relationship from Jack Duckworth , who branded Percy as Rhett Butler to Phyllis ' s Scarlett O ' Hara . Having previously been told by Phyllis that she hated Percy , Arnold was angry and ignored Phyllis when she tried to say hello to him in the street . Confronting her later in Jim ' s Cafe , Arnold told her he wasn ' t going to be used to inflame Percy ' s flagging passion for her . Fortunately , Phyllis managed to talk Arnold round and they arranged a proper date . Arnold lived within close proximity to The Kabin . In 1988 , he cancelled his subscription to a martial arts magazine there , claiming to be doing his bit to lower the amount of violence in the world .
