Uncle Pat by FRANK DUNNE
Read by Kevin Flood
'He was an embarrassment to the family. You could understand how they felt. After all, one nephew was a parish priest and the other was married to the daughter of one of the biggest businessmen in the country. It's all very well to laugh, but if you've got a position to maintain it's no joke having the worry of someone like Uncle Pat dropping in, unannounced, out of the sky, all of a sudden.'
