THIS CAME THROUGH TODAY, IT COULD WORK, (EVEN THOUGH HIS MATHS ARE A LITTLE OUT), WHAT DO YOU THINK ??

Dear All,

Try this one out!

Campaign to Reduce UK Petrol Prices ...a real rip-off at 80p/litre

We are going to hit close to 89p a litre by the summer. Want petrol prices

to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action. 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 at 77p -80p, we need to take

aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace 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. You can still buy petrol from Shell, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons (75p), Jet etc, just DON'T BUY ANY FROM ESSO or BP!!

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 whimp 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 (21). 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 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't

think you and I had that much potential, did you! 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

Action: It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy

your petrol at Shell, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons (75p), Jet etc. i.e.

Boycott BP and Esso.

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE !
