	'''''Carry On at Your Convenience''''' is a 1971 [[British comedy]] film, the 22nd release in the [[Carry On (film series)\|series of 31 ''Carry On'' films]] (1958–1992), and was the first box office failure of the series. This failure has been attributed to the film's attempt at exploring the political themes of the trade union movement, crucially portraying the union activists as idle, pedantic buffoons which, apparently, alienated the traditional working-class audience of the series.

	In bathroom ceramics factory W.C. Boggs & Son, the traditionalist owner W.C. Boggs ([[Kenneth Williams]]) is having no end of trouble. Bolshy and lazy [[trade union\|union representative]] Vic Spanner ([[Kenneth Cope]]) continually stirs up trouble in the works, to the irritation of his co-workers and management. He calls a strike for almost any minor incident – or because he wants time off to attend a local [[association football\|football]] match. Sid Plummer ([[Sid James]]) is the site foreman bridging the gap between workers and management, shrewdly keeping the place going amid the unrest.		In bathroom ceramics factory W.C.

	Prissy floral-shirt-wearing product designer Charles Coote ([[Charles Hawtrey (actor, born 1914)\|Charles Hawtrey]]) has included a [[bidet]] in his latest range of designs, but W.C. objects to the manufacture of such "dubious" items. W.C. will not change his stance even after his son, Lewis Boggs ([[Richard O'Callaghan]]), secures a large overseas order for the bidets. It is a deal that could save the struggling firm, which W.C. has to admit is in debt to the banks.

	Vic's dim stooge Bernie Hulke ([[Bernard Bresslaw]]) provides bumbling assistance in both his union machinations and his attempts to woo Sid's daughter, factory canteen worker Myrtle ([[Jacki Piper]]). She is torn between Vic and Lewis Boggs, who is something of a playboy but insists he loves her.

	Sid's wife is Beattie ([[Hattie Jacques]]), a lazy housewife who does little but fuss over her pet [[Budgerigar\|budgie]], Joey, which refuses to talk despite her concerted efforts. Their neighbour is Sid's brassy and lascivious co-worker Chloe Moore ([[Joan Sims]]).

	The strikers finally return to work, but it is only to attend the annual works outing, a coach trip to [[Brighton]]. A good time is had by all with barriers coming down between workers and management, thanks largely to that great social lubricant, alcohol. W.C. becomes intoxicated and spends the day – and it seems the night – with his faithful, adoring secretary, Miss Hortense Withering ([[Patsy Rowlands]]).

After arriving home late after the outing and with Fred away, Chloe invites Sid in for a cup of tea. They fight their desires and ultimately decide not to have the tea fearing that neighbours might see Sid enter Chloe's home and get the wrong idea.

==Production notes==
After Sid James's character was criticised for leering at some girls in ''[[Carry On Henry]]'' (1971), here his character was changed to the put-upon family man similar to the character he portrayed in the TV sitcom ''[[Bless This House (UK TV series)|Bless This House]]''.<ref name="Ross, Robert 1996. p 98"/> In the next film ''[[Carry On Matron]]'' (1972) his character was preoccupied with thieving, but made odd suggestive comments to nurses (including one played by Jacki Piper, who played his daughter in this film). Sid's girl-chasing persona was fully reinstated for subsequent films.
