Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 25, 2023

wicked burn Flo…nice!

don’t we all like it when Flo sticks Andy to the grounds of reality.

The fish have to be edible types before they’re considered, Andy.

Any fish in the canal, he could grab some when he falls in.

Oh snap!

Flo has such a sharp Tongue for a quiet lass.

Sounds fishy to The Count, Andy. Maybe go back to the tried and true, “Free Pint for Me, Birthday, Mate?” that you use several times every week neglecting to say that your birthday is in December.

The old shoes you catch don’t count as fish, Andy.

Aha she caught him….atta girl!

The only thing Andy catches when he goes fishing is a COLD!

WAIT! Andy has beer money? Chalkie might be interested to find that out! Rose & Crown barkeep, too!

They don’t usually serve minnows in restaurants.

ba dum tss

Got him Flo!

On Saturday I met up with a wonderful 83 year old lady who I used to call every week as part of my Tuesday volunteering. We met in person for the first time. We went for Fish & Chips and I had the “Catch of the Day” I didn’t know what kind of fish it was but it was lovely. The chips were not the best though, they were too brown for my liking.

After that we went to her house.

@ Everyone

Well I should be getting my second payslip tomorrow via email. I’m not sure if I already mentioned this but I was required to download an app to view it last time. It was basically to “unzip” the file. I suppose it’s for security because I was needed to enter a password too which is my NI (National Insurance) number. I believe you would call them “Social Security Numbers”

On a less happy note, I have been late for work twice by about 13 minutes. The first time (Friday) was completely my fault because I was in a queue when I didn’t need to be. However the last time (Today) was due to the bus not turning up. What I have to do is put the time I actually arrived onto my timesheet because I think it’s technically classed as fraud if you put down the time you were supposed to arrive by.

Good one Flo!

As if he ever catches anything.

Not sure how good canal fish would taste

The only thing hauled out of that canal at home is Andy.

Have we ever actually seen Andy catch a fish? I think there were a couple times he had a couple fish illegally when the warden came around – but we don’t know where they came from. After all, he has bought fish to take home after catching nothing.

Andy doesn’t even catch enough to pay for the beer he drinks while he’s fishing.
