Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 27, 2018

When we say “cheap”, do we mean something like £2 a can?

If it’s Battleship Grey we will know where that came from….

Yup. And if you’re lucky, it’ll stay on for a while.

Because my parents were smokers, our living room got painted every few years, so Florrie’s burnt cooking may be why her kitchen needs a do over.

Is Dodgy Dan supplied by Five-Fingered Nick?

yer spenting his beer money on paint? flo shame on you.

The whole flat could do with a freshening up, starting with tossing Andy.

I always teased my brother for being cheap. I said that he was as tight as the third coat of paint on the wall !

Is it the sort of paint that peels off the minute it dries?

Just don’t get any paint on that pot: it’s a legendary artifact! (If it had any ambition it would be a holy relic, but of course the Capp flat is where ambition goes to die………)

As an artist, (yeah, I know, not the same kind of paint), I usually try to find the cheapest paint possible, while still trying to buy paint of a good quality. I only buy a more expensive brand of paint if there’s a color that’s not available in a cheaper brand.

They live in a house, not a flat.
