There's a sequence in the On the Buses film that shows Jack blatantly fiddling the bus company regarding fares. What does he do?

How did I miss this. The first film? Was it to do with the ticket machine?

Yes, something to do with the machine. I think it was from the first film, but can't be totally sure.

Gives out free tickets to Stans family?

No. As people get on the bus, he collects each person's money and winds out a ticket, but doesn't rip it off to give to the passenger. When all the passengers have gotten onto the bus, there is a long strip of tickets that he hasn't handed out. He then rewinds the strip of tickets back into the machine and pockets the money.

Devious Jack. Does Blakey catch him. Which film is that in btw?

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

I believe Jack's fares-fiddling was in the credits sequence of the first film, but it could have been Mutiny on the Buses, and he gets away with it as Blakey is not around.

"watch it Blakey. If you adjust the straps wrongly.. that wont be the only thing that is long and dangly"

Who is speaking and what scene from first film.

I think it is Stan speaking and the scene is where one of the clippies needs help to have her ticket machine straps altered.

Re: Riding ON THE BUSES

When out on route Jack would pop in to see his bit on the side

Stan asked him how he knew when the husband was not at home

How did Jack know?

His fancy woman would hang her knickers on the washing line to say the coast is clear! ☺


What did Olive have up her jumper to keep her warm when she was riding pillion on Arthurs motorbike as they headed off to see aunt Maud?
