the only way this will work is if the lorry drivers get involved again and block the fuel deports
or this might work
Subject: Fwd: Fw: Petrol price reduction
READ THIS...
See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it....
We are hitting 99.9p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced
with paying over £1 a litre!!!!
(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 just
might 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, if
you can avoid it, 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 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.
copy and paste it into an email so people know
