In yet another story from 'The Last Great Car Ride,' we get to meet Wattie, Buzz, Ony and Davy as they take part in an Arts Festival as part of a Community Outreach Project to bring the arts to deprived communities.

At first the four young men are reluctant to take part, but soon throw themselves into the Words Festival with a series of hilarious observations and poems that cement their relationship with a growing fandom.

This episode contains swear words and attitudes that were current in the working class environment at the time the stories were written.

Careless in the Community is the story of Wattie Watters who decides to hold a party in his parents house when they're away on holiday. The trouble is, he lives next door to a gent who has forgotten to take his anti-psychotic meds, and objects to a noisy gang of teenagers carousing next door, with dire results...

This is part three of the booklet 'Pet Memories,' which is about, as it says on the tin, people's pets.

I've always thought that our relationship with our pets says a lot about us, and the fond memories on this podcast for Write Up! show this unique relationship.

Thanks to all the contributors, and if you want a copy of the book you can contact:
