Before
the days of ATMs Screamers and Johnny's provided access to bank accounts
7 days per week,
24 hours per day. A service unheard of and unavailable to main stream
civilians.

The
caption originally accompanying the above photo reads - 'The Club provides
15 modern shower recesses and up- to-date toilet facilities'. Implying
what? I wonder.
Sadly
the White Ensign Club closed its doors to the sailors of the R.A.N in
March 1972, never to reopen - Johnny's, in Sydney, followed a similar
fate a few years later.
