I remember a few years back, when I was in my youth, there was an advert that was often shown on the tv. It was for a sandwich toaster (Could have been a Breville, but my memory is not what it once was) that cut your toasted sandwiches in half and sealed them around the edges, So that they tasted twice as good!
On first seeing that advert, I became one of the converted. Of course, doubling things makes them as twice good! It's obvious isn't it! The evidence is clear to see...
When someone decides to work harder to meet a deadline they Double their efforts!
Those old Bra ad's used to talk of lifting and Separating, now that has to be a good thing surely!
And what could be nicer after a delicious meal than a lovely Banana Split?
So you see, separating, doubling and splitting things is great!
It will therefore be no surprise to you that I am looking forward to the new Home Office Split. This has to be great news! We are going to see a whole new Home office, cut in two, sealed and toasted to perfection... Ummmm I can smell it now!
I recently saw this kind of 'progress' at work, the division was under performing and so to improve our performance and consolidate our efforts we were split, from 2 to 4 Sub-Divisions.
The list of outstanding jobs doubled at about the same time, and never seems to have got any shorter. Chiefs and Indians? I don't know.
Have to go, got to sort out the separation from my wife, explain to my young son how when he is bowling to avoid a 7-10 Split and keep taking the tablets to stop my Double Vision!
Oh wait! I'm confused now.

I liked the Banana Splits.
Wasn't it Fleagle, Deagle, Droopy and Snork?
They had that great cartoon "Arabian Nights."
Size of an elephant.
I'm twice as pissed off at work than I was this time last year.
Our force is working the opposite way we are joining up divisions and closing/minimal (PCSOs) manning stations so there are less chiefs and more indians. Or thats what they think we now have a bigger area to cover with the same amount on shift what a cracking idea and also more jobs come through the main nick as the others are closed to the public.
The chiefs have gone into backroom jobs implementing this idea or sitting up at THE DREAM FACTORY (HQ) making up other ideas.
Granny I couldnt see DOUBLE BUBBLE for when we get extra cash which isnt very often!!
