Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 01, 2022

Hard to top that.

I don’t see the £50 becoming an IOU in the future.

wow, can I borrow your husband for 3 days, please?

Andy, can you convince them I don’t need a car warranty please!

The caller was probably scratching his head after the call wondering “What the heck just happened there?”

@Number Three Today’s strip minus Andy Capp IS Funny, My Avatar again is a picture of Rowan Atkinson our fav actor as Mr Bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am, how was your day? ours should be a little busy, there is shopping to be done, but we both are in a good mood and should cope I hope, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Finally, ONE thing Andy Capp is good for. :D :D :D

But will £50 payoff Andy’s Pub tab? And if it does. Will Jack suffer a heart attack from the shock.

I used to keep getting those “I hear you were in a car accident” calls. I love those as I keep winding them up. I answered one with “Yeah, it was a really bad one – I died”. Silence. “Er when was that?”; “10 years ago. I was brought back to life, but I’ve been in a coma for over 9 years and only just woke up. I’m really steamed”. More silence, then they hung up. I have a load of them.

“Lend?”

The phone scammer didn’t know Andy. Learning about life is sometimes hard.

And — unless he drops the 50 quid in cash on your doorstep — you have a chance at catching the scammer.

Check the fine print.. the interest will be due weekly and guess who he used for collateral.

I thought she was gonna say he beat them to it.

Andy is a pro.

Well, if anybody could scam a scammer, it would be Andy.

On Sunday evening my phone was blowing up with calls one after the other from different mobile numbers. One of them looked eerily like mine and only the last 3 digits were different.

It turned out to be an Amazon scam. The robotic recorded message from ‘Olivia’ said there had been a transaction of £600 from my account from Manchester. When I pressed 1 to speak to an actual person it was clearly an Indian call centre.

One of the numbers I called back belonged to a real person and she was adament she never called me. Scammers are known to spoof numbers so I’m guessing that’s what happened to the woman.

Hey, Affie.

I forgot to mention yesterday that some of the Cappers know I will be making a very special announcement. The time has come! I received the email today and will be making the announcement at turnover tomorrow. Stay tuned!

I was at my volunteering again today because I was asked to cover. After that I went into town to buy 3 Google Play gift cards. My Dad gave me £30 for them. They’re my Christmas present. When I get home I’m giving them to my Mum to put away until Christmas.

I had a longer reply written out for you but it looks like it’s been eaten. How was your day today?

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

Funny

Next step is for the scammer to offer Andy a job.

For once, Andy did something good. I really hate those scam calls where they say someone used your credit card to buy a new iphone or something. I know better than to fall for that, but they still annoy me.

Amateurs!
