All our Heroes are Busy at the Moment

All Our Heroes Are Busy At The Moment is set in the countryside of post independence Scotland. It tells the adventures of two factory workers, Al Collick and Stew Dappel, who fled the Scottish War of Independence in 2012 and now live in derelict cottages in the East Neuk. Their lives are inextricably tangled up with those of the mysterious chauffeur Phil Bottles, the blonde seductress Tawny Howe, heavily subsidised Mook the Farmer, The Rev. Hugo Cabrio, who once appeared on Radio Four's I'll Sit Here And Talk Delusional Bollocks While You Go To The Toilet, and two glamorous Barbie dolls named Jazz and Jacqui. There is also fortune telling, a bus from nowhere, a singing frog, a cat called Chubby and an escaped criminal. In the astonishing climax of the tale, an explosion demolishes the ugliest building in Scotland .
