Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 28, 2021

Andy going to utilise Willie’s £20 at the bookies instead?

Has anyone ever calculated how much Andy has “borrowed” over the years. I bet the amount is staggering!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is a grandmaster at double talk, is it not a loan if no bummed at the pub? my avatar again is my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s in a good mood like I am , how was your day? ours is a bit depressing because it’s rainy and windy , Connie has already done the bulk shopping , no errand to run just keep inside the house and hydrated till the greengrocer van comes up our street this evening, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

If I had a wooden shilling I lend him that.

Turn him down.

Later that day…..

Andy could be a politician.

Surprise! Andy is Andy even when he’s not in the pub. Flo probably hid her purse well.

With Andy, it’s all a game of “cadge me if you can”!

Mr Capp… a bloke true to his word. An inspiration to all of us.

Willie’s suit looks to be well-worn.

I think Chalkie is the only one dumb enough (besides Flo) to give him money more than once.

The operative word is ‘lend’ which implies an intent to payback, which you never do.

The best defense against Andy is to always beat him to the punch. So whenever you see him, Immediately ask do you have that money you owe me.

Andy is under the impression if you ask a hundred different men for a 20-pound note, that he only needs one man to say yes.

He’d get a £20 where the sun don’t shine from me!

Hey, Affie.

I went to a friend’s house today. I was there for over an hour until he got an email saying that he had to attend a Teams meeting at 12:45pm. It was a bit short notice but I was fine. It was lovely to see him. I last saw him on 24th August, I remember because it was the same day that Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones passed away and also when I last gave blood.

I am seeing my friend from school tomorrow. I see him more often than the other two.

Stay safe, stay well and stsy happy, pal. Our favourite day of the week is fast approaching.

For those on my side of the pond:

Cadge (v.) \ ˈkaj \To obtain (something) for free often by persuading or imposing on another : SPONGE

What a good barrister, is Mr Capp. We know he is a crafty solicitor.

Andy has a very sneaky sense of logic.
