Colin Douglas: Mr. Horner

Quotes 

• Mr. Horner : Was I on the seven o'clock news, mother?

  Mrs. Horner : I didn't have it on.

  Mr. Horner : Oh... d'yas think there's gonna be a war on, Mr. Herriot?

  James Herriot : Well... let's hope not, eh, Mr. Horner.

  Mr. Horner : It'll take more than hope, lad, the way things are looking. I doubt we'll be as lucky up here as we were in Lowestoft. We never went short of food then , not like in towns. But, uh, if we have it again; it'll be waste not, want not.

  Mrs. Horner : It'll be waste not, want not any road; war or not.

  Mr. Horner : And what about this new car tax?

  James Herriot : Yeah, it's a bit nasty, that.

  Mr. Horner : Up to twenty-five bob! And there's a rumor income tax is going up seven and six on the pound. Who's gonna be able to pay that? Sinful, that's what it is! They brought in tax in the last war, saying they'd get rid of it when it t'were over. Twenty years later, we've still got it... with knobs on.
