Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 06, 2025

it was before the “my name is Andy Capp” part. Flo’s smile tells volumes (she knew the outcome beforehand)

Was…

Is that how you spell a dial tone??

Leave your number and we’ll call you in 15 minutes.

They know you too well.

I hear that phrase “your call is important to us” and I groan. When they pick up I ask “If my call was so important, why did it take 10 minutes waiting on hold to reach someone?”

This even after I worked in a call center for a former major bank. We had a goal of answering every call within 60 seconds. If more calls came in than expected, even management got on the phones. We had monitors above with the familiar green to yellow to red, how many people were on the phones, the average handle times and the average time people were on hold. We would apologize for the wait on hold first thing.

Too bad that is no longer the case.

Andy will be humming the muzac all day now and wondering why!

I know a guy who lost his job. He took out a payday loan, thinking he would pay it off when he started his new job. But it took him longer to get a job than he thought, so he took out a second load to pay off the first and also give him money to live on. By the time he actually got a job, this same thing had happened several more times, and he could no longer borrow enough to pay off the previous loans and to live on until his first payday which has a month in the future. He ended up taking out bankruptcy.

Andy’s name must be on a no-loan list for all lenders of any stripe in England.

I think I found the perfect job for Andy.

Andy should open his own bank, then he can lend out money he doesn’t have, like they all do.

Your call is important to them, it’s just that their money is more important

At least they didn’t ask you to make a donation to a non existent fund for widows and orphans of (fill in the blank).

It is, but ONLY the call, nothing else.

They know who you are!

I haven’t hear a dial tone in years. I thought they were done away with.

It wasn’t that important to them, Andy.

Even telephone solicitors hang up on Andy…..

so is there money and time… and they sure know a lost cause when they hear one. :j

Looks like Jack has to wait a bit before Capp can pay off his tab at the Rose and Crown.

trump school of business taught bankruptcy. That moron filed 6 times and twits still voted for that thug.

There’s no one save Chalkie that can “help Andy Capp”. Instant disconnect. Let’s face it Andy, EVERYBODY knows all about you!

Andy’s fame has preceded him.

The call, not the person making it.

It was until to mention your name……..it is on a norway list…….
