Just received this email>
We are hitting 98.9p a litre in some areas now ( mine is at this level )
and soon we will be faced with paying £1 a ltr.
Here's an 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.
THIS PLAN HOWEVER, 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 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.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 whimp out on me at this point...
keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of
people!!
If each of you send itto 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 toten 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.
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 NEARER 69p a LITRE
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your
petrol at Shell, Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Jet etc.
Boycott BP and Esso.
