Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 30, 2021

Not the right kind of people from whom to mooch a free pint.

And they probably pay for their drinks instead of running up a massive tab.

“Chief of Police??” Wouldn’t that the Chief Constable??

;-)

You would think it would be like a reunion for Andy with those folks…

From what I’ve seen of this strip, there are numerous pubs in Hartlepool. Plenty of opportunities for Capp to get stinking drunk and into trouble.

But Andy won’t have any way to explain things away.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is very choosey about the company he is seen with so he is leaving the Rose and Crown because of the high class patrons :o) , my avatar is of a spoof about a bomb tech to follow him if you see him run ,I would would’nt you , how was your day? our Thursdays are always busy but we should cope I hope, Connie has already done the bulk shoppingwe both are in a good mood but we are staying inside the house in places with A/C or huge fans and chill till this afternoon when the Greengrocer van comes up our street Keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Who the heck said that was a better class of customers? I’d rather hang out with convicted felons. Waiiit a minute!

Why leave Andy, they are all acquintances ?

Meanwhile, down at the Ferret and Beefburger… (pubs have silly names these days).

I’m sure Andy has met those blokes in various capacities.

He should be off to the Riveters soon enough!

“Class” and “Andy” don’t mix!

Yuppies ruin everything……

A judge, but they’re supposed to be sober.

I think Andy will be finding a new place to drink if Jack has patrons such as these.

I once knew a judge who bragged about NEVER drinking—it would’ve interfered with his gambling problem!

All of Andy’s passing acquaintances after closing hour.

I’m sure Andy recognized at least 2 of those guys.

Don’t worry Andy, once Jack’s better class of patrons see you, they will be off looking for classier place to drink.

First it’s Guitar Bob and now a judge, a chief of police and a prison governor. Yep, I think it’s definitely time for Andy to take his custom elsewhere.

OMG! If enough pubs start attracting “better” clientelle maybe A.C. “could” have to give up drinking.

Next stop: The Jolly Riveters!

Oh dear, looks like the Rose and Crown has gotten gentrified.
