Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 20, 2016

Andy sure cannot take “no” and “get a job” seriously.

To each ’is own………………..

I guess “graft” must mean something else in the UK.

Actually Andy’s lucky in that his Begging is done indoors rather than out on the street.

@Bob,

Yup, and it’s an interesting commentary on our two societies that is does.

Samuel Clemens remarked that the English and the the Americans had everything in common, except a language.

Being on the take, or some other form of scam is “GRIFT” with an I not graft which is why scam artists are sometimes referred to as “grifters”.

Graft (with an “A”) refers to splicing two pieces of living tissue together such as grafting a branch onto a tree or a surgical skin graft.

And there was people thinking that Chalkie didn’t work. Just goes to show how much they know.

OK, I’ll switch my snob mode off now.

I never understood why getting money from Flo is called a “loan.” The both know Andy is highly unlikely — if not never — going to repay her.
