Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 10, 2022

I first went to London ten years ago. I went with my older brother and was my personal first time using a passport. Of course we didn’t go via a police wagon.

The London fog is lovely this time of year.

we used to have a kids rhyme that started, “i see London, I see France…” is that what Flo means?

I thought they lived in London!

Overflow accommodations.

Now, I never knew Andy had been on the wagon! :D

Andy was on the wagon. But he then fell off the wagon. And they then dragged him by his collar off to the gaol. Just like it is back in Hartlepool.

I thought they were in London…

His goal was not gaol on the trip, I’m sure.

Capps living in London? Even London would move or go under or stay fogged over.

Wonder if Andy’s ever been arrested by Inspector Jack Frost around the Southern area of Denton? Lol. I enjoyed the series.

I always thought they lived in London. Wonder where they live?

I rather anticipated that punchline

A very long time ago, when I was going to med school in Edinburgh, I had the opportunity to take a bus trip to London. When the driver told us we were getting close to the English border I asked him how he could tell. “It smells,” was his reply. London is ok for a short visit, but I prefer the countryside in the north and Scotland. That same trip I also visited Highclere Castle. Imagine my surprise when years later it had been magically transported to Yorkshire and re-named Downton Abbey.

Wow he made the big time.

I rode in the transport van as part of our local citizen’s police academy-went from the jail to the forensic sexual assault center, a distance of about 5 blocks. Longest trip of my life: Full size van with no windows in the custody section, steel benches on both walls and a full-length steel partition down the middle. Basically, your knees were against the wall, and we were crammed in 5 to a side. Very disorienting and we were glad it was winter because by the time we reached our destination about 5 minutes later we were all claustrophobic and so glad to get out into the cold fresh air. I would hate to do that during an Indiana summer with the heat and humidity both in the 90s.

Just stay out of the Walford borough. It’s a dangerous part of town!

Knowing Mr Capp, that a true statement!

At least it wasn’t a garbage truck.

I like London / I like Town / I cannot understand why people / Run it down / Although it does the wicked things / And leaves the good things undone / I’m very very fond of / Lon-don. — “The Arcadians”
