The SAP is rising.
We know this to be the case (despite the efforts of certain other SomerBloggers) as one of the regulars cut down a birch tree this week, and the stuff was glugging out of the stump like one of Jonesy's [CENSORED].
However, even if the forest bureaucrats' idiotic 5 tonnes per quarter rule didn't mean that people are forced to cut down trees at the wrong time of the year, we would still be quietly confident that the SAP was rising all around us.
And nowhere more so than in Taunton. Even if it is costing hundreds of PMCs.
We know this from an American visitor to the Dog & Duck, who was asking about Organisational Terrorists and Institutional Chauvinists and the Spirit of Partnership being weaker than the Spirit of Independence.
We were gobsmacked, I can tell you! But it seems that Bull is a two-way street, and that Jonesy delivered Somerset's revenge to a bewildered audience in Washington DC only last month!
Anyway, apart from repeating all our old favourites about his war on Terror and Chauvinistic neighbours and uncooperative Districts, Jonesy also told the Yanks that the SAP would definitely rise on time this year.
Sort of like King Canute in reverse.
Unbelievably, he also provided us with YET ANOTHER figure for savings from the SouthWest One adventure!!! This time it is £191,000,000 (still over £1,000 per taxpayer, but still not adding up to £17,000,000 + 140,000,000).
There was also the usual world class torrent of transformation and reframing, and even the question "what's beyond excellence?" Apparantly, at this point some guy yelled out from the back of the Hall, "It's the Dog & Duck blog, Stupid, everyone knows that!"
See the complete Washington DC show here.
[NB if the Forces of Excellence get to it before you and have the thing removed from public view (like they did with 'American Bull in Somerset'), then email the Dog and Duck for a copy. Free of Charge as ever!]

Slide download isn't working?
Is this guy still referring to staff who harbour doubts or express misgivings as "organisational terrorists" then?
Who paid for the trip then? IBM?? Was it declared and if so did he also use his taxpayer-paid salaried days whilst over in the USA?
Dear Anonymous, the slide show takes ages to download - especially in the afternoon. If you want a copy email us at farbeyondexcellence@gmail.com. And yes, organisational terrorists and all the other references are still there! Duck
Got download now - waited ages before but must have been very slowww.
Jonesy claims huge investment by IBM - other than them spending our (borrowed) money (£35m) on unfinished things like SAP, see no signs of IBM investing other than in long taxi rides to/from Bristol & Exeter airpoirts, various hotels (incl Castle) and local restaurants on expenses etc.
