Got this email today about a solution to the petrol prices......worth a read

See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it -

We are hitting 106.9 p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1.10 a ltr.
Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of >an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read it and join in!

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

Here's the idea:

For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP.

If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!!

Now, don't wimp out on me at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the
message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... ..

THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt,
all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8days!!!
Acting together we can make a difference
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE

It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and Esso

the big problem with this is that there are lots of areas that only have BP or shell, so it's just not practical to do, and there are too many sheep that would just use the boycotted ones as they would be quiet.

well since many of us use shell this shouldnt be too much of a worry lol.

it says avoid esso and bp and we have the majority of pf who runs on v power so all is well

arkley

Crazy this like, 300 million people i thought there was only 60 million in the country?

GTechR

What most people fail to realise is that BP and ESSO supply a big percentage of the Supermarkets anyway, the forecourts are only a very small percentage of the companies total income.

Not only that but most of the cost of petrol is down to the government, 80% is it now? Is TAX...

The whole plan is flawed.

fuzzy

Just because you read it, does that mean that everyone else has too?

foreverwhite

ive got an idea.

why dont we all masterbate in our tanks. the 1ml of sperm will lose 1ml of petrol in everyone's tanks and BP will go bust

forward this technique on to everyone and we are onto a winner!!!

etc etc
