Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 06, 2024

I say you exchange places with the pub (this way they won’t bother being on your doorstep)

Maybe he should invest in pineapples with his Dole money!!

But somehow the canal seems to be somewhere in between.

Is dole money unemployment checks? Asking for an American.

It’ll go even less, since the British taxpayers will be footing King Charles’ cancer treatments.

How does she know?

As I have mentioned before, I watch reruns of “Last of the Summer Wine” on the UK’s Freeview Channel 20 on most evenings. Yesterday, I watched a rerun of the episode called “It’s Never Ten Years” from 2008. It celebrated the ten years that Frank Thornton (previously Captain Peacock in “Are You Being Served?”) had been in the show as retired Inspector Truelove. Truly and Clegg looked back at their early years together when Compo had still been alive and discussed them with Alvin who didn’t know Compo but lived in the house which had belonged to him.

Towards the end of yesterday’s episode, there were some clips from the Millennium special from January 2000 when Truly, Clegg and Compo had visited Dunkirk. Clegg said to Alvin that Compo “wanted to go back to Dunkirk now that it had quietened down.”

There was also sad news about our new King yesterday. It is good that his cancer has been diagnosed early which will make it easier to treat but cancer is obviously never easy for anyone.

Where’s Number3 been lately? I hope the young lass hasn’t left this community.

Andy’s got his hand in his pocket. People would faint if he did that in a pub. (Indicating he was buying a round) When pigs fly.

How can he get dole money if he lives with her and she works.

Andy has given them the right of way……….

Inflation strikes, sometimes even hitting Andy.

Andy likes it that way. Less walking and better than MIL on the doorstep!

I’ve got a feeling that England will have a new king soon.

That’s a really despicable comment…

Andy might have to try climbing out the chimney to escape them.

Well Andy’s dole money almost gets him to his doorstep, that’s a lot further than I thought it would.

Leave it to Andy to blow his dooroney. On Ppnoes and pints

But then, like crime, Andy does not pay.
