Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 23, 2024

add a canal, and that’s plain French.

“don’t let the door hit you where the Lord split you!”

Actions speak louder than words.

But I haven’t emptied my glass yet!

Has he set a record for the number of pubs he’s thrown out of?

What a plight for a moonlit night.

Dearly departed…

You shouldn’t have ticked him off Andy.

Goest thou thither.

Doesn’t get any plainer than that!

It’s plain that the barkeep added a little English to Andys ejection from the pub!

Today is Saint George’s Day and it is still widely celebrated here in England. Countries were Saint George is Patron Saint also include the largely Muslim countries of Libya and Palestine. Let us all pray for peace in Palestine.

As I have mentioned before there is a pub to the north of Chester city centre called George And The Dragon. It is situated between Liverpool Road and Parkgate Road. There is still a large model dragon at the front of the pub which has been closed for the past few years. It is hoped that the George And The Dragon will be reopening in the coming year.

Don’t have one for the road, it’s already laid out.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

Enjoy the full moon, Andy.

In plain Hartlepool: “Yer outta ’ere!!”

Take the door mate !

In plain English: ADIOS!

Hit the road, Jack, and don’t ya come back no more

What’d you say?Hit the road, Jack, and don’t ya come backNo more, no more, no more, no more. Great Ray Charles.

Drink what you’ve got before asking for more, especially after time has been called.

Actions speak louder than words.

Out! Now! That’s what it means.

And there you have it!

back in the day, one for the road meant a beer in a go cup and exit out the back door. something to sip on as you wander home. In those days the charge was “Liquor other than residence” and garnered a 15 dollar fine. The worst part is they poured out the beer.

Andy doesn’t need one for the road. He’d just spill it when they chuck him out.

You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.

A bit of a rough exit, but at least he got a pint out of it. And from his looks, more than one!

Lad’s been taking lessons from Jack.

How much plainer can you get?

In plain English…Get Out!!!

Time to head to the Rose and Crown,

Died 800 years ago and likely most quoted writer of all time. Andy buy Old Bill a large lager. William loved drinking.

It means “go jump in the canal!”

Andy should be used to being thrown out of bars

Wow, that’s one mean bartender.

When this guy says get out, he means GET OUT!

As the kids say, ‘Yeet!’
