(For Brits!) Real Life ‘Carry On Movie’ Incidents

Hello everyone, love Carry On movies (remember Carry On Up The Khyber being the first thing I ever saw at the pictures…). I thought this might be a funny topic: I was wondering if anyone had ever had any real life moments straight out of a Carry On film? My wife told me an absolute howler a couple of years back that happened during her school days and it got me thinking probably everyone has at least one classic up their sleeve!

(I’ll tell it if people want a good laugh!)

Maybe back at the time, back in the 60s, lots of double entendres. We think more clearly now, or do we. :neutral_face:

I think hanging washing on the line in the 70s before a massive storm. Asking three sets of neighbours if I could retrieve my bras from their tree branches! (facepalm)

I do have another incident that I blush over but I worry it’s a tad too rude for this time of day! :see_no_evil::see_no_evil::see_no_evil:

I’ll tell if everyone’s ok with a slightly un-PC tale! Here’s a less rude one:

Phone to the doctors a couple of years ago, they asked if I was free on a certain date I meant to say I’ve got a small gap if you can fit me in but said ‘I’ve got a small gap if you can fit in me’ think I blushed for the next week after that!

And here’s the rude one, happened on the way to school back in the day:
Other time has to be my knickers falling down while crossing the road. Back in the days when the elastic would just go! I was walking to school middle of a zebra crossing obviously had to be a windy day as well. I was mortified but it didn’t stop the lorry drivers honking their horns!

Oh that has put a smile on my face! Haha so your knickers just fell down in front of everyone?

Yep! I’ve built it up in my head over the years but I wanted the ground to swallow me. Used to wrap my hands around my backpack straps so I couldn’t get them untangled in time to grab the falling pants! Knocked my knees together so the knickers only (only!) dropped to there. Must have looked ridiculous. Think half of Wakefield saw my fanny that morning :flushed::flushed::flushed:

I have so very many questions but I’m worried about how un-PC they might sound!

The only experience I can recall was a long time ago when I first joined The Territorial Army. We were getting changed at the drill hall, PE of some sort I think. Anyway, I was pulling my kit out of a carrier bag that I had no doubt hastily grabbed just before leaving home. A couple of items of my sister’s underwear fell to floor which unbeknown to me had been left in the bag.

To this very day I’ll never know how the other blokes didn’t notice… must’ve been blessed! :open_mouth:

Hahaha that would have been catnip to the other blokes!

Just realised I haven’t shared my wife’s tale, I’ll write it out when I’m back from the shops. In consolation with you Janice it also involves school and a wardrobe malfunction for the ages (don’t worry, posting with her permission) - get your popcorn at the ready folks!

So I was walking through the town centre of Wakefield when I saw this woman crossing a zebra crossing…
:astonished:
Ha Ha…Welcome to the forum Janicelain, and also Mickinthemorning, you wait for interesting new members to turn up and you get two at once…
:grin:
I think thats a great idea Mick, I still titter at the antics and innuendo of a ‘Carry on’ Film.
I’ll get my thinking cap on…
Mrs Fox once went to the dentist to have a tooth extracted and she mentioned to the dentist that she didn’t know which was the worst pain…Having a baby or having a tooth extracted…
The dentist said, “Well hurry up and make up your mind because I’ve tools for both”…
Open wide…

Oh my! I don’t suppose there’s any pictorial evidence of said incident? Purely for, ermm historical preservation purposes. Ahem. Quite.
