The “Spotted Duck” is a play on the phrase “spotted dick” which is a pudding the Brits make. I just caught that today, and I’ve been stumbling through ‘Andy Capp’ for how long?
Today an email went round to all staff advising us to finish work before 4pm and get home due to the poor weather. I left at 3:30pm. I was able to get on a train almost straightaway with the heating on at full blast so I was lovely and toasty going home. Doesn’t get much better than that. Apart from getting paid tomorrow obviously. Haha.

There should be cheering, adoring crowds at every pub to see Andy off to the slammer!! They’d be GLAD to see you on your way, Andy!!

Cop should have stopped at one or two and had a nip leaving Andy in the Paddy Wagon. Cruel I know but kick em when they are down Grandma said.

Being hauled away from the Guitar Bob show is punishment?

If they picked up Andy for not paying I would have bought him a beer. If it was for fighting, where are the others that he was fighting with?

It won’t hold up in a court of law, Andy. Your wife might sympathize though. Perhaps not. Try a fellow inmate once you get to the clink.

Maybe he’s simply taking Andy to The Jolly Riveters. Dilly! Dilly!

Not letting him drink more could be considered police brewtality.

Can’t be much of a brawl Andy’s not involved.

He should have also arrested Guitar Bob for noise pollution. (Assuming Guitar Bob is part of the live entertainment at the Rose and Crown, of course.)
