The Alf Garnett Saga (1972)

Ken Wynne: Non-Smoker

Quotes 

• Passenger : This is a non-smoking compartment, Sir.

  Alf Garnett : I can read, can't I?

  Passenger : There are smoking compartments you know?

  Alf Garnett : And for your information, Mr Clever Dick, they're all bloody-well full, ain't they?

  Passenger : Smoking is a filthy, disgusting and dangerous habit.

  Alf Garnett : Dangerous? Dangerous? For your information, the money what come out of your tobacco tax last year was enough to pay for your National Health Service. It's the only thing that keeps this country solvent, innit? Dangerous! Cor blimey, if your country's involved in a war, you can't refuse to be called to the colours just because it's bloody well dangerous, can yer? People like you who give up smoking because it's dangerous ought to be given white feathers for cowardice, mate. Yeah. I'm smoking for England, mate. And the Queen.

  Alf Garnett : Blimey. They'll be saying that drinking's dangerous soon. Be another industry gone bust.
