Chain emails

[Stone Fox]

I really really hate chain emails. I once saw a calculation of how much actually bandwidth is wasted by chain email and how it affects the internet but for once I'm actually going to forward one!

See below for details....













Do you think this will work!?!

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

We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 a ltr. How's this for a 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 i t 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 8 days!!! 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.

Esso is by far the most expensive station up here, I wouldn't buy from them for other reasons than that though.

I'll join in, by doing exactly what I do and keep buying it from Sainsbury.

[Stone Fox]

That's the joy of it! I normally use my closest Shell station, and I can feel like I doing some good without actually doing anything different!

ITS F$%KING £1.01p in Shaftesbury Dorset at the moment, and that's Tesco

....and what about my Nectar card points i will have to rely on my trusty girlfriend to shop at Debenhams now instead of Next etc......

OK, i will try and hold out for as long as possible, but as soon as i see a BP garage that is cheaper than others in an area, and im low on petroleum....yup you guessed it.......Nectar points.....here i come......

i will forward it on though

just deal with it, fuel prices are going to rocket in the next 10 years. theres not alot you can do about it other than buy a desial and run it on bio fuel

We're pretty limited with fuel suppliers over here (*benefits* of living on an island!!), so we're stuck with what we've got.

The way I see it is that I have to drive, my car has to have gogo juice... I pay whatever I need to. Luckily its not that juice hungry, a full tank is about £35 and that lasts me a month. If I tried boycotting anyone over here I'd be up xxxxx creek without a paddle - wouldn't be affecting the fuel companies, I'd only be affecting my own life

[Stone Fox]

I can't believe that ANYONE, even if they lived on sodding Rockall wouldn't have at least ONE alternative to Esso or BP!

Besides, those two are normally the most expensive!
