replies: text: As a union rep I would say that union "bullying tactics" - which I have never used and would refuse to use - could not possibly have persuaded any union member to not view the film, given that attendance of the cinema was in union members' free time outside of work. That unions might have advised members not to view the film, is certainly a possibility. During the time period in question, most union members paid their subscription in cash, in the workplace or at branch meetings, and their rep would have mentioned any "current issues". If so, there ought to be evidence, in the form of meeting minutes or union journals, that officers and reps were asked to encourage their members to boycott the film. I have yet to find any such evidence. A more likely explanation is, that the decline of the Carry On series during the 1970s had already started, and "Convenience" was the first casualty. Bawdier comedy was arriving in the form of the On the Buses films and then the Confessions and Adventures series. It is this trend that probably caused the poor box office receipts for "Convenience".

replies: text:  There's nothing "totalitarian" about a union advising that its members boycott a film. Would you say a church is "totalitarian" if it advises its congregation to avoid giving money to a movie that's believed to be blaspheming Christianity? --Ismail (talk) 06:09, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

message: Are there no sources that mention the use of punnage in this one film for the title and characters? The fictional business manufactures lavatories, for which the UK uses the synonyms "convenience", "WC", and "Bog". I should have thought that this is a particular noteworthy aspect for this subject.
