up.yours Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We are hitting £1.42 a litre in some areas now and soon we will be faced with paying £1.50 per litre. So here’s the 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 - not sellers control the market place. 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) i.e. 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 ten people. The person who sent it to me also sent it to 29 other people. If all of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 100) it will have reached 300...and if 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yep got it a couple of months ago same stratige here,problem is all the stations change names in the last year or so so no idea who they buy there gas from. None of the stations are named shell bp esso ect. I just go for the stations that have lower prices and high volume sales so at least your getting fresh gas. Read a artical about the shelf life of modern fules and after 30days it is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator mervin Posted August 17, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2013 that old chestnut again it has nbeen around for years, Esso and BP will shit themselves i am sure , where do you think the fuel comes from for the supermarkets etc, all out of their refineries !!!, we have fuck all service staions left in our area now , i have a 15 mile drive /ride to find fuel now, If you wanna drip to someone about the price of fuel try the bloody government who cream off around 70% + in tax on fuel , they are losing millions in revenue every day on fuel duty because they sit with a bag over there heads and rob us quite legally thinking the way to get more money is to increase taxes, Sit in Dover and count the number of trucks that come into this country every day .then you have other ports all aong the coast,then watch how many buy fuel here , NONE at all , they all come in with bloody great tanks full of fuel and go out again without buying sod all here, I know, fuel was cheaper in europe when i was driving over there , my truck got through 1000/1500 litres a trip , not one litre bought here in the last 7 years i was driving , so forget boycotting the fuel stations spread this around see if we can wake the idiots in whitehalll that give away our money to countries that are now richer than us I:E India etc , cut the price of tax in half and reap the benefits of foreigners buying fuel here . money coming in from abroad hasgot to be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
