* BuxomIsBetter:

--->'''Sid''': I don't wan' 'o sit on me big fat-
--->'''Myrtle''': Er, come on Lewis. I think we'd better go.

--->'''Sid''': I don't think I could stand it for more than half an hour.
--->'''Mr. Coote''': Well, it was hardly designed for a reading room.

--->'''Sid''': Look, look at this. Very slender this pedestal, innit?
--->'''Mr. Coote''': It's ''streamlined''.
--->'''Sid''': What for? Wind resistance?

* TheCameo:
** Recurring ''Film/CarryOn'' actress Amelia Bayntun as Mrs. Spragg, the NosyNeighbor of Agatha and Vic.
** And recurring actor Creator/JulianHolloway as Lewis' friend Roger.
* CampStraight: Mr. Coote is played with all the campiness of a Creator/CharlesHawtrey character, yet plays StripPoker with Agatha and tries to get close with Miss Withering on the works outing.

** Music from ''Film/CarryOnCamping'' plays when Sid, Chloe and Myrtle drive back from the factory.
** Sid sarcastically asks Beattie if she'll call the ''RSPCA'' on him for giving Joey a honey ring, despite the existence of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

** Vic gets everyone to agree to his strike when he reminds them that the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams Rovers]]'' are playing at home today. [[note]]The teams called Rovers then in the Football League were those of Blackburn, Bristol, Doncaster and Tranmere, but the characters’ accents fit none of these locales. Of course, Vic might be a fan of his local non-league side.[[/note]]

* FourthDateMarriage: Lewis and Myrtle.

* BittersweetEnding: Everyone gets a happy ending, except for Sid and Chloe who now have no chance of having an affair now that Beattie is working at the factory, and Mr Boggs who has to fend off Miss Withering's amorous advances more than ever.

* DisguisedInDrag: Sid dresses up as Gipsy Rose, a female fortune teller, to help trick Mr. Boggs into getting with Miss Withering, though he ruins his fortune-tellong credibilityby predicting 14 children for them. As Miss Withering has been a secretary for 30 years, she is at the very least in her mid-forties so this would be impossible.

* BittersweetEnding: Everyone gets a happy ending, except for Sid and Chloe who now have no chance of having an affair now that Beattie is working at the factory.

Alongside this fiasco, there are other problems around. Sid is divided over caring about the situation because he is attracted to factory worker Chloe Moore (Sims) who is unsatisfied with her travelling salesman husband Fred (Bill Maynard), and also because he is earning lots of gambling money from his wife Beattie's (Jacques) budgie, Joey, who makes correct predictions over the horse races; Mr. Boggs' son Lewis (O'Callaghan) is competing with Vic over the affections of Sid's daughter Myrtle (Piper), who doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind; product designer Charles Coote (Hawtrey) is considering manufacturing 1,000 bidets for the wealthy King Frauzi of Aslam, even though Mr. Boggs is unimpressed with the idea; and Mr. Boggs' secretary Hortense Withering (Rowlands) is madly in love with him, much to his displeasure.

''At Your Convenience'' starred Cope as lazy union representative Vic Spanner, who works in the W.C. Boggs & Son toilet factory, run by its traditionalist owner W.C. Boggs (Williams) and foreman Sid Plummer (James). He organizes strikes over the most minor of inconveniences (or when he wants to watch a football match), much to the disgust of the workers - except for Bernie Hulke (Bresslaw), his DumbMuscle - the company they work under, and his mother, Agatha (Creator/ReneeHouston). The firm cannot afford the constant strikes because they are losing loads of money, yet Vic holds yet another strike over the banning of tea servings on the factory floor.

* FamilyBusiness: W.C. Boggs & Son, where most of the movie's action takes place is run by W.C. Boggs and his son Lewis.

''Carry On at Your Convenience'' was the fourth ''Film/CarryOn'' film of the 1970's, and the 22nd of the franchise, starring Creator/SidJames, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/HattieJacques, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Creator/KennethCope, Creator/PatsyRowlands, Creator/JackiPiper, and Richard O'Callaghan.

** The coach trip is aboard a "Jack Crump" coach, whereas Jacki Piper's (who portrayed Myrtle Plummer) real name was Jackie Crump.

* WavingSignsAround: Lewis' strike over the bidets has him, Bernie and several others march outside the factory with angry signs.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Unusually for a ''Film/CarryOn'' film, Sid and Chloe reluctantly decide not to act on their attraction to each other, as they are both already married (if not especially happily). ''Very'' unusually for a ''Film/CarryOn'' film is that this moment is actually played for sadness.

** Vic is a HopelessSuitor to Myrtle. His obnoxious attitude and laziness is not attractive to anyone in the movie (not even the audience, considering he's [[WrittenByTheWinners portrayed as the villain]]), which might come from his bitterness of being a grown man who still lives with his mother. (Even his DumbMuscle partner Bernie is implied to have a more successful life than him as there is no implication that he still lives with a parent, and he even owns a motorcycle). He's constantly in a cold war with much richer, much successful Lewis, who is much nicer than him in comparison. You'd think that this would be another case of SingleTargetSexuality, but when the new canteen girl arrives, Vic becomes googly-eyed and protective of them. (Also see VirginWhoreComplex on this page) This heavily implies that Vic probably doesn't have any feelings for Myrtle to begin with - she's the only young girl in the workplace that isn't married or seen meeting up with a man during/after work, so he'd do anything to get into her pants (probably implies that he's a virgin, too).

** Sid sarcastically asks Beattie if she'll call the ''RSPCA'' on him for giving Joey a honey ring.

** Vic gets everyone to agree to his strike when he reminds them that the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishFootyTeams Rovers]]'' are playing at home today. [[note]]The teams called Rovers then in the Football League were those of Blackburn, Bristol, Doncaster and Tranmere, but the characters’ accents fit none of these locales.

* {{Discontinuity}}: The film made many fans at the time abandon the series after 1970. Instead of the film being relatable, like many of the films were, it portrayed the working class as lazy people who went on strike whenever they felt like it. Unfortunately, many of their audience '''were''' [[UnfortunateImplications the "lazy" working class]], who immediately stopped watching the film series after that one.

He organizes strikes when he cannot be bothered to do any work, much to the disgust of the workers, the company they work under, and his mother, Agatha (Renée Houston).

HilarityEnsues.

** '''W.C. Boggs''' and his son '''Lew'''is who run a toilet factory. W.C. stands for "water closet", Boggs sounds like "bog" and Lewis starts with "loo", all terms used for a toilet.

** The '''Plummer''' family, with two of them (Sid and Myrtle) also working in the toilet factory.
** Vic '''Spanner''', which is fitting because he inspects the area that assembles the toilet parts together.

* AccidentalMisnaming: {{Invoked}}. Sid purposely calls Miss Withering "Miss Widdling" when in his fortune teller disguise to trick Mr. Boggs into not realising who he was.

* DisguisedInDrag: Sid dresses up as a female fortune teller to help trick Mr. Boggs into getting with Miss Withering.

** In his fortune teller disguise, Sid "accidentally" calls Miss Withering "Miss '''Widdling'''", which is children's slang for urination.

* WhatsAHenway: Mr. Boggs and Sid when drunkenly arguing about fortune tellers.
