History[]

Flo, or 'Florrie', is the long-suffering wife of workshy layabout Andy Capp. She works part time as a cleaner (or 'charwoman') to support herself and her husband (much to the annoyance of her mother), and frequently resorts to violence (often involving a rolling pin) against Andy in retaliation for his drunken, womanising ways. She is, however, ultimately as devoted to Andy as he is to her. She spends much of her time when she isn't working either dodging Percy, the rent collector, or gossiping with her friend and next door neighbour, Rube, the wife of Andy's mate Chalkie White.
