How nice of Andy to offer the services of Flo. Instead of hogging all her help to himself, he’s sharing her help with others. Andy is just that kind of guy, always thinking of others. And while you’re getting the biscuits, Pet, could you pick up a six pack?
Andy has given up valuable sofa time to come to yet another tiresome counseling session. Then he finds that there’s no biscuits to accompany the coffee. What else was he to do?
Not only that, he’s given the obviously incompetent marriage counselor a starting point for the session.
Bravo Andy!
Flo, jab Andy’s elbow and tell him to fetch some goods at the grocery store! He should not mention to you about getting some goods, Flo. He should get it by himself! He has legs to walk and hands to get some thing.
Tea and the accompanying biscuits are a religious sacrament to the British, regardless of race or class.
Nothing, but nothing, is allowed to get in the way.
Only our biscuits resemble cookies only in the baking process.
Typical British Biscuits (cookies) are:-
Rich Tea - a skinny plain brown disc, wheatflour based and slightly sweetened;
Digestive - A thicker, oatmeal-based and sweeter version of the Rich Tea;
Custard Cream: two pallid rectangular slabs of cooked biscuit dough with an egg-custard flavoured blob of flavouring trapped between them, sandwich-style;
Bourbon: like the Rich Tea, only rectangular, darker and vaguely coffee flavoured;
Pink Wafers - not so much a confection as an infection.
Of course, these are all what the following site (all about the British and biscuit culture) describes as “entry-level”.
We do have better, nicer and more sophisticated biscuitys, such as the Holy Grail of biscuit-making, the Hob-Nob, and the Abbey Crunch: but these are getting on for £2 a packet, whereas Rich Tea, Custard Creams, et c, may be picked up in cheap supermarkets such as Netto and Happy Shopper for 20p a pack (a tenth of the price) and would therefore be more within Flo and Andy’s price-range.
Well, £2 for a pack of biscuits when many Northern English pubs and working mens’ clubs can still do you a pint of beer for £1.50 or less?

One advantage of wearing a cap all the time is that it helps protect the head from scalding hot coffee.

That’s OK Edcole she’ll just pour it down the back of his neck.

Tanya that day will never come. We just get the pleasure of bearating Andy for being insentive and a poor excuse of a husband. But then Flo chose him.

I think Andy has a shot Of booze in his coffee…

That is very generous of you Andy!
Flo probably could use the exercise and she would certainly be agreeable to getting some food.
Hopefully the counselor will appreciate Andy’s offer.

Here’s your chance to learn something new. When the Brit says a biscuit he means what we call a cookie.

If that’s Doc Toon’s coffee, everything will be all right.
