A great snuff quote from my favourite movie (of course) Waterloo

G

SIR WILLIAM PONSONBY Before we go, Uxbridge. [proffering snuff powder] LORD UXBRIDGE [snorts] Ha [sneezes] savage stuff, Ponsonby! SIR WILLIAM PONSONBY You don’t see its like any more. My father left us a hundredweight, down to the last ounce. An old Jew in Alexandria had the blend. LORD UXBRIDGE Blend? [Ponsonby laughs]

T

My son’s (who is six) current favourite film!

B

50kg’s of snuff. Nice inheritance.

…but they’re down to the last ounce! Mind you Ponsonby buys it about five minutes later. Saddest moment in the film in mine and my son’s opinion.

A

Great scene from brilliant film! They don’t make them like those anymore but snuff is still here.
