Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 08, 2021

and the bum won’t budge to get off

You could pawn the painting of fog that is above Andy…I guess you mist that…

@Number Three Today’s strip IS a funny repeat , Flo after having all their household goods re-possessed would gladly let the bailiff take the sofa just as long as he also takes our HERO Mr Andrew Capp with it :o) my avatar is a spoof of a wedding cake decoration with the figures of the bride dragging the groom to the Altar , something which you don’t intend doing , and does not resemble our wedding 51 years of wedded bliss and no regrets, how as your day? our Thursday should be busy as usual but we will cope I hope , ,this morning I had to wait for the meter reader at our other garage from 7 to 8am for a 6 monthly visual reading, while Connie did the shopping , but all’s well that ends well , now we can relax and get back in a good mood, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Sorry Flo. But if you don’t mind I’ll just take the cans. There’s a refund on those.

You can resale the Sofa. But Andy is far past the “Use By a certain Date”. So I seriously doubt you can recycle Andy.

I don’t think the bailiff is allowed to take the sofa – Andy does all his best work there so that makes it “tools of his trade”.

Sofa, so good, as far as Andy’s concerned!

Flogged?

“..flogged..?” Okay, venerable Brits, ejeekate me.

Beer is a luxury if you owe lots of money…

I didn’t know “bum” was used in the sense of “layabout”, “idler”, or “vagabond” in Britain.

I watch a LOT of British television, both classic and modern, but don’t recall the use of the word “bum” in this sense. Layabout, yes. I’m sure it’s been said, but I don’t recall having heard it.

Take Andy. Somebody will pay money to get you to keep him.

Take Andy. Please.

Yes, Yes, 100x YES!

I was telling a male friend of mine yesterday (not the one I went to the beach with) that I’m really happy being on my own and that I believe the reason why I’m a generally happy person is because I’ve had no heartbreak or bad memories of relationships. Unfortunately he has.

I would never, ever tell people how to live their lives. Some are happy being single and some feel “whole” when they are in a relationship and that’s fine.

The only time I wouldn’t be happy is when they’re not.

It really warms my heart when you talk about your marriage with Connie. I love it.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. I’m having a takeaway tonight but it’s not KFC. It’s from a local Halal chicken shop. And I have decided that I’m never going to spend more than £20 on takeaways. This one is costing £19.67 (inc £1.50 Delivery Fee)

Highly doubtful that Andy would be worth much.
