Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 24, 2022

Those pounds for last night’s tab or the tab altogether?

Money talks

What? Andy who pays? But when ever?!?

If I was old enough I’d buy him a pint. If I had any money.

Good timing.

That is probably the first time in all these years I’ve been following Mr Capp that he’s actually paid off his tab… A rare moment!

Who did he steal it from—Flo or Chalkie?

Andy paying off his tab?? That’s a first!

“All right, who are you and what have you done with the real Andy Capp?”

Andy may be uncouth but his “cash” money goes first class.

I’ve never known THAT to happen.

Andy reminds me of a particularly obnoxious drunk that the bar owner wanted to ban but was afraid if he did, he’d never recover the money the guy owed on his tab. Without hesitation, all of his regular customers ( including yours truly ) chipped in and paid the drunk’s bill then loudly cheered as the landlord threw the bum out!

Quick, Jack! Bet on your favourite ‘orse! Buy a lottery ticket! Put a wager on the football pools! Don’t yer get it? It’s yer lucky day!!

He got into Flo’s purse again!

What are the odds?

Andy must’ve had a good day at the track!

I wonder how much he actually owes?

Hey, Affie.

My avatar today is a photo of me in my favourite dress. When that was taken, I was feeling rather depressed and down so decided to get out the house and go for a walk. They say that every photo tells a story. That’s mine.

I’m coming off Facebook for a bit again so I’m afraid I won’t be calling our friend RJM for a while. It shouldn’t be for too long, I’ll still be here at least (except weekends) and available 24/7 through email.

I’m going to go out tomorrow no matter how much my body wants to stay in bed. Sometimes I have to push myself especially in Winter.

Stay safe, stay well, stay warm and stay happy, pal.

Andy actually paying? Will wonders never cease?

Well, we see that Andy is a straight up guy — with the right motivation. Of course he’s going to pay his tab sooner or later, since Jack (among others) would stop serving him if he doesn’t. Still not holding my breath waiting for him to buy a round, however.

Does Flo know that he’s got her cash?
