Cliff politely explained that there was no sign in the carriage which said that smoking wasn't allowed and he had no intention of wasting a pipebowl of good tobacco unless someone was prepared to arrest him. No one did. Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand! My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. (Member of the School of Optimism 1969-2016 inclusive)

No one did. So basically you're saying he was a bit of a cnut, who didn't care about other people's health worries but was polite about it? All I remember of him was he used to host "Tonight" a dreadfully boring programme on BBC from 1957 to 1965 when I was aged 3 to 11. My dad had it on every night whilst my brothers and sisters my mum and myself were expected to sit quietly in the room bored out of our brains. I think he also did a holiday programme, but the effect he had on me as a young kid meant I refused to watch anything he ever did. Still RIP Cliff.... I hope your pipe didn't cause any fatalities for passive smokers unable to escape your smoke.
