Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 08, 2023

Lady … you don’t get much reasonable days with Andy that much – embrace the moment

In the library they show you slides. In the Rose & Crown they show you the actual historical characters. That’s got to be worth more than 10 pounds. Or a few pints at least.

a new career for Andy, work as a local historian (windbag)

Poor Andy, tell them your good old days at the R&C.

You’re in big trouble if the only people talking about “the good old days” are historians.

It’ll cost WAY more than 10P’s once the ale floodgates open!!

£10, I mean…(Guess I DO have a £ key on my phone. Don’t use the £ much here in the US)

When I lived in NYC, there was a Barnes & Noble’s that held discussions by certain authors concerning their latest works. Some of them were quite interesting, especially the Q & A sessions after the author’s speech.

I was born in 54 and I loved the good old days.

Ah, ye goode olde days, back when England was populated by the English.

Accuracy wanes with each additional pint, I’m sure.

When Andy had to scrounge only half of what he does now for a pint

Remember the time Andy bought a round for the house? Yeah, nor does the Count. Urban Legend.

Point taken, Flo. It’s an occupational hazard of being one of us septuagenarians…Why I remember in ‘62 I was…oops…

Rose & Crown reminds me of a veterans post I’ve been to!

I follow the rule of NO Stalgia.

It is too bad the San Francisco Dungeon shut down during the pandemic. 5 spooky reenactments. Great actors. Awesome light show. Not great plunge ride, but not bad.

I’m with Flo on this one. And I’m surprised at Andy, why would he spend good beer money on that.

Actually, they couldn’t get that for free; they would have to buy rounds.

I long for the good old days back. I’m talking about on GoComics in particular…

I can’t imagine Andy having much interest in any lecture unless it’s one on brewing and they provide free samples.

Nostalgia is in the eye of the beholder.

I agree with Flo the people know more history then the toogfy noses
