Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 30, 2012

You mean you’re supposed to have both feet on the scale?

I thought the English weighed people in “stones” so they don’t have to worry about silly things like this!

Flo is right to expect something sarcastic from Andy, but he does speak nicely about her on occasion…

Flo didn’t lose 12 pounds, she just misplaced them. She will have them back in a few days.

Flo lost twelve pounds, but according to my scale, I found them.

Flo, you have both feet on the scale. There’s only one. You need to brush up on your basic math skills.

Andy’s stockinged feet are looking a tad Don Martin-ish today…not quite the full “hinged foot” look but closer than I remember Andy looking before.

Flo lost 12 pounds… She must have trimmed her toe nails.

GOOD one.

If Flo had lost two more pounds she would have said “I’ve lost a stone!”

Flo’s lost a lot more than twelve pounds to Andy’s thieving ways.

many digital scales sold in the UK have 3 position switch for showing either pounds, kilograms, or stone. Stone must have fallen out of favor quickly over here in the former colonies
