We have been watching the World War Two propaganda film, London Can Take It.  We wrote versions for Workington.

Workington Can Take It!
It is late afternoon and everyone is getting organized for the big bomb night. It has been a quiet day, but it won’t be a quiet night. We haven’t had a quiet night for 5 weeks. All the volunteers are rushing home to change into their uniform. It is the last hour until the Germans bomb. Everyone is at Murray Road for the bus to take them, well some of them, to the shelter on Station Road.  
The roaring sirens go off… The Germans are prepared to kill. Will we live, or will we die? Not everyone will make it to safety, as the queue is too big.  People’s lives are at risk. BOOM BOOM POW!!!!!  Buildings are knocked down in instant seconds.
It is quiet, it is dawn.
6:01AM  the friendly sirens go off.  Workington is still standing and shakes the mud, concrete and bricks off its head. Time to get ready for the next bombing.
