Has Andy Capp Got a Mobile Phone?
« on: March 04, 2008, 09:17:58 PM »
(That's a question for Roger). He's probably watching the footie on telly like most blokes, which is why it's gone quiet on here.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Yes, I was watching the footie. Pretty astonishing result for Arsenal.
No, Andy Capp doesn't have a mobile phone. I don't so why should he?

Does he have a phone in the house? (I had a phone gag I was going to let you use).

Does the rent man still call? (I don't remember seeing him for ages).

They have a phone in the house but I've seldom shown it in a strip.
The rent man no longer appears.
I'm watching the cricket now.(New Zealand are 28-0).
On another topic, I used the expression "You know fine well what I'm talking about" in a strip the other day and it's niggling me---is this Scottish?

That's interesting. Is that a political decision about the Rent Man?

Nah. It just seemed really dated.
What about "fine well"? Is it Scottish?

I don't know, I've only been here 3 and a half years. Aren't there any people in Scotland you know who've been here longer?

Maybe the joke would work with a portable phone.

I was hoping to find out if I was using an expression that was only known in Scotland so that, if necessary, I could change it to something less parochial.
I might go to bed now.
(New Zealand 59-1).

You can go to bed when New Zealand reach 375 and not before!

What are you asking me for?

That's some score. Who got England's goal?
I apologise, in advance.

Mind you, I haven't heard it used by anyone down here (in England) in 6 years. I think they may use "fine and well" though. But I don't talk to many of them.
I apologise, in advance.

"You know fine well" is a VERY Scottish expression, just thought I would give you a definite answer, Roger.

At last! Thanks, Malc---I'll change it.
