Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 30, 2021

And what a fool the blue suit is.

In the U.K. you wouldn’t go to the “bathroom”. Is someone “translating” this for Yanks?

Andy is going to filter it for you pal…anyway…you never really own beer, you just rent it…

Now if he was smart, when he comes back to an empty glass, he woulod order another, make another go to the “loo” excuse, take the beer with him, drink half, fill the other half with …, bring it back, BS for a few minutes, use the “aviation beer” excuse, head for the loo but sneak out instead and when Andy takes a big gulp and say this beer tastes like … BTW, he would never ever go nto another pub that Andy frequents.

@linguist Today’s strip IS funny , but a repeat, the bloke asking our HERO Mr Andrew Capp to guard his beer is like having a fox to guard a henhouse :o) my avatar is a spoof of the American Dennis the Menace nearly getting Mr Wilson in trouble for finding their neighbour pretty , well he may be old but he’s not dead yet :o) come avete passato il vostro Sabato mio meno vecchio amico? our day should be busy but we should cope I hope , it’s not raining , we have already done our shopping and my wife is going with her daughter in law for a hair dressing appointment at midday , keep safe and a bientot pal,

Going to a safe place!

That is not a stout way to treat a friend Andy. He might get very bitter about it as a matter of fact.

They’ve got Andy sussed out.

I don’t think I’ve ever done that, ask somebody to look after my beer. Drink up, then head to the privy.

Don’t worry, he’ll put it in a place that no one can get to it…..

Look after is definitely open to interpretation.

Is that Percy, Andy’s old rent man? I was wondering where he was!

We enjoyed meeting rjm yesterday !

Doing the vids didn’t come out as good as I would have liked but they are all I have. The acoustics were terrible and we left in a rush, to keep Bob from turning into a pumpkin after dark, so the hastily done phone still will have to do.

Bob got to “meet” Three and is now taken with her. I have been replaced ! :-O  They had a very nice talk which I think has netted Bob a new “Granddaughter”.

When he returns, he can recite “O Wah Ta Na Siam!” over and over until he gets it.

Likewise, I’ve learned that leaving food unattended where my Sister’s dogs can reach it is a really bad idea.
