Continuity mistake: The 1st scene with Hatty talking to the bird shows 1/2 of the lounge. There is a newspaper on the left side of the sofa leaning against the back of the sofa. When Sid sits down, the newspaper has gone completely. (00:17:40)
Continuity mistake: On the closeup with Sid sitting on the chair, you see two knitting needles, one on either side of his jacket. When Hatty and Sid are in view, the jacket completely covers the knitting needles, next shot, closeup again, needles seen again. (00:18:40)
Continuity mistake: On the trip BACK from Brighton the coach stops at numerous pubs. You see the name of each pub they all stop at but the reflection on the side of the coach each time shows them getting off and on at the SAME place. (01:10:00)
Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the film when the women have broken up the strike, after everyone has gone back in Sid James and Hattie Jacques are standing talking in front of Sid's car you can see the boom mike reflecting in the window of Sid's car.
Factual error: About ten minutes into the film, in the scene where there is a staff meeting deciding whether they should strike, the junior assistant talks about how much tea breaks cost the company each week. He says something along the lines of 'each member of staff has 18 toilet visits a day due to drinking tea. At four minutes a time this contributes to 72 minutes each day lost. This means we lose 15 hours a week due to visits to the toilet'. Even if the staff worked seven days a week, this would only amount to 8.4 hours lost.
Continuity mistake: On the coach trip into Brighton, when Mr. Lewis is following in his car, the shadow is on the lefthand side of the car. However, when he is shown behind the bus, the sun has changed sides, giving the shadow on the other side. In the same sequence, he is seen travelling on a dual-carriageway. But when he is shown waving at Myrtle at the rear of the coach, he is shown travelling along a three-laned road.
Continuity mistake: A suited and booted chap with a flyaway mop of copper hair can be seen walking down the street when Bernie first pulls up outside the Spanners' house.

Continuity mistake: On the coach on the way to Brighton, look at the road they are on when Mr Lewis is chasing them. It turns to the left of the screen.

But when Vic puts his arm around Myrtle the shadow disappears.

Continuity mistake: When Sid Plummer confronts W.C. Boggs in his office, they hear a commotion outside and go to the window to see what it is.

Continuity mistake: When Sid says "Just because I've had a bit of luck for a change" to Benny in the betting shop, Benny takes the cigar out of his mouth, but when the camera is behind Sid in the next shot, the cigar is back in Benny's mouth and he takes it out a second time.
Continuity mistake: In a full view of Vic rallying the pickets at the main gate outside W.C. Boggs and Son, Bernie is standing next to Vic and he has nothing in his hands, but in a close-up of Vic and Bernie in the next shot, Bernie is now holding a cricket bat.
