Some 60 years later, yes l am 63. The entire country has gone totally mad. You cannot say this, cannot say that without being nicked.
You go into a shop and bingo. You cannot say certain words, without someone taking offence to it.
I can always remember days of Till Death us do part with Alf Garnett. Or Love Thy Neighbour. It made us laugh.

Don't get me wrong. When I say about people getting offended, I am not talking about a return to the days when we could go around using certain P and N words willy nilly.
However, it's also worth pointing out that (as Johnny Speight once said) that the only person that ever lost out as a result of Alf Garnetts moaning and scheming was Alf himself.
