granama@45: the Andy Capp comic strip was syndicated in
many US papers for decades. May still be, for all I know. I recall it as funny, though I always felt there were UK nuances that went over my head.
There's even an "Andy Capp's Fries" food product (for want of a better term ;-) ) I've seen in shops over here:

I probably ate a packet once, when I was much younger...
Well done, paul! Thanks to jono for hosting, grateful for unexpected votes from paul and granama.
