Uncle Andy

Origins
Uncle Andy's photoUnknown. Is he really Billy's Uncle Andy or just his mother's 'particular friend'?

Politics
Middle of the road. Usually a Catholic one - with a sash on.

Fashion
Uncle Andy is a fashion icon. He single-handedly brought the string vest back into High Street stores. He has developed his own unique 'Protestant style', which includes a Viva Zapata moustache and Reactolite sunglasses - totally unnecessary in this climate but an essential loyalist fashion accessory since the seventies (also handy for hiding his lying eyes when he's pulling a fast one on Billy). His array of chunky jewellery adds a full stone to his weight and is only outshone by his greasy slicked-down hair. His wardrobe is completed by his Elvis belt buckle that fulfils the dual function of demonstrating his undying loyalty to 'the king' and hiding his beer gut. If you wish to achieve the Uncle Andy look we urge you to seek psychiatric help.

The mystery of Uncle Andy
The writers have yet to decide, so watch future episodes as to why Billy hasn't bucked him out of the house years ago...
