Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 03, 2021

Let’s see you trying cooking for a change, Andy!

Ah, so this is why Andy likes to go out to eat all the time. Flo can’t cook.

Poor Flo, at least she tries Andy.

Hartlepool was on the news last night. But there was no sign of Andy in the canal, or being thrown out of a pub and no sign of his statue. Additionally the were no clouds of smoke roiling in the sky from Flo’s cooking. All a bit disappointing really

Takes talent to burn a fruit salad.

I’m surprised she didn’t burn the salad…..

You two sometimes seem to balance out a bit.

No kebabs left over from yesterday? :-0

They might want to invest in a timer.

Well, then, off to the pub to grab a bite… and a pint!

Use a lower flame and take a bit more time. Works for most dishes.

I love fruit salad. And yet I hate ordinary salad with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, beetroot etc you name it.

@Afficionado

Have you had or are you planning to have a movie marathon, Affie?

By the way, I don’t believe I’ve introduced you to my new avatar. My avatar is simply me pretending to walk. I was trying to impersonate the Abbey Road album cover but I would need 3 more people and a road. Preferably the actual Abbey Road. That would be a dream!

I’m glad you and Connie have cooled down now. We have a saying here “Don’t cry over spilt milk” In your case it would be a burnt out LCD light.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

@Number Three Welcome to our club , you won’t regret it

I also love being married.

I’m surprised she didn’t burn the fruit salad.

The way Andy immediately sees through the make-do is parallel to an All In the Family episode in which Archie has been laid off, or downsized, and the budget is tight. Edith puts a brave face on it and serves spaghetti with “mahra-narra soo-ahss,” prompting grumpy guilty Archie’s “Yeah, I know what that means—no meat.”

To be authentically British, shouldn’t Flo’s answer be “I might have done.”?
