Petrol prices - just got this in my email ;-)
Hey SN people, what about this for a good idea 
Just got this gem in my email from a hermit who has been living on Mars since 1860
Some people really must live with their head in the sand
Now while we're here, anyone know anything about the Red Arrows not being allowed to fly at the Olympics or for that matter about a Subaru being driven into a lake
Just got this gem in my email from a hermit who has been living on Mars since 1860
We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1 a ltr. 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, 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 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!!
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

It's always the same when someone 'new' discovers the internet!!
They think they are the first person to find what they have found - just like teenagers
And then they send you stuff which you circulated 8 years ago - to people who had seen it 8 years previously too ..... we must all go through looking like a dork - some of us don't actually emerge out the other end, however

...and after 2 month of passing this on, it will have reach 21 billion people..
I presume the originatar had a stake in Shell?
they're hardly likely to drop it to 69p when the duty + vat is about 60p

The mindless PC Plonkers who hate the armed forces with a passion, say the the Red Arrows are too warlike to display their prowess as the best formation team in the world in their unarmed training aircraft and to act as ammbassadors for this country as they have for all those years!
Perhaps if they changed the name of the team to the Gay Red Arrows, it would all be alright then! Using that first word with its original meaning is quite a happy and non warlike title after all.

Secondly this wasn't spam, it was sent by a client's employee to everyone on his contact list because as PSL said he is new to the Internet and all these things seem so plausible
