Finding a couple of portions of fish and chips on their bus, Stan and Jack gratefully tuck in. However, the woman who bought them turns up at the depot to see if they have been handed in. Blakey lets the woman look over the bus. Noticing a strong smell of fish, she comments on it. Jack tells her that Blakey has been having incontinence problems.
A furious Blakey demands that in future all lost property be handed to him personally. Sensing a chance for a bit of fun, Stan and Jack hand over various embarrassing items such as a chamber pot and a pair of woman's knickers.
Finding an envelope, Stan takes it home, not realising it contains a diamond worth £100...
You would be surprised at the strange things people leave behind on buses. An old neighbour of mine once went to town to buy a chicken for his Sunday dinner, only to arrive home a few hours later without it. It was never found. Presumably either another passenger or one of the staff got their hands on it. Knowing Stan and Jack as we do, its unsurprising they would take a 'finders keepers' approach to lost property.
Amelia Bayntun is the old lady looking for her fish and chips. She was 'Mrs.Fussey' in 'Carry On Camping' in 1969. 'Joe', the maintenance man, is none other than Bartlett Mullins. With his bald head, glasses and bird-like manner, Mullins was a familiar figure in countless films and series of the '60's and '70's, from 'The Likely Lads' ( in which he played 'Cloughy' ) to 'The Prisoner'. Definitely one of Britain's unsung character actors.
Funniest moment - Stan locates the missing envelope in Olive and Arthur's room, but the diamond is not inside. Carefully, he begins searching the bed - while they are still in it!
