Just had this e-mail arrive in my mail box seemes like an effective idea what does everyone think? Could it work?
Petrol Revolution
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 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 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 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
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!!! 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
It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your
petrol at Shell, Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrison's Jet etc. i.e. boycott
BP and Esso.
