Gone Fission — Barry Tighe
The government has decided to build a nuclear power plant on one of the five hills of Spawater to help fight global warming.
Greenies plot to steal the waste and drop it on the rain forests to save them from the loggers.
Meanwhile, that King of the Jobsworths, Master of the Health and Safety Rulebook and Busybody Par Excellence, Harold Wood, is appointed Green Tsar of Spawater by a Council who really should know better.
Harold is on a mission; to save Spawater from global warming by fining environmental criminals for such environcrimes as recycling on a Tuesday, wasting energy using the wrong light bulbs and mixing polymers with non-polymers in household bins.
Between the nuclear power plant and the Green Tsar, Spawater will foist conservation on its citizens for their own good, whether they like it or not.
Harold might not save the planet, but he will raise enough money fining the public to buy a new one.
The Spawater Chronicles
Over two thousand years ago the Romans came, saw and conquered Britain.
They stayed for a few hundred years, give or take, until rising Villa
prices, the ferociousness of the local lions and the quality of home brewed
wine convinced them to take all roads back to Rome.
No Romans remained. Britain, both sides of Hadrian's Wall, became a
Roman-free zone.
Except....
There was one little town where the Roman bugle-song anthem of retreat,
'Legitus Quickitus', was not heard. One town where the Romans and the
locals, ears full of soap, were so busy splashing around together they
missed the thunder of the departing last night chariots of fire. And as
there were no cabs due for another 15 hundred years - and that's if you
believe the cab office - the town's Romans decided to stay.
The town grew, thriving on the naturally occurring spa waters, nurtured by
the river Fons and hardened by the combination of original Brits and Roman
bath lovers. The last bastion of the Roman Empire, it is now a mighty town
indeed.
The town's name? Spawater, home of the legendary Spawater Baths.
The Spawater Chronicles are the tales of its citizens, and how they take on
the world and win.
