You can't go more than a couple or 3 miles in Solihull stroke Birmingham without coming across a Shell.

Shell are getting out of the refining game, they are concentrating on extraction and exploration.

There has been 2 taken over in our town in the last few months, but there's 3 left still

Rick explanation of the extraction/exploration seems that Shell are fucked off paying UK tax on the refining game..........
