Comment: A really cracking story! I've listened several times and laughed heartily each time. I could really identify with Joan's story having lived in North Belfast myself during the Troubles. Yet it makes such a serious point - the importance of humour in difficult situations. The old saying is true - if you don't laugh, you'll cry.
