PLEASE READ
It's worth a read . . . I say we all try it and see what happens
Hi Guys
I like this, it might even work
Subject: Fw: Petrol - how to force the price down.
Figure you have nothing to lose and lots to gain?
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 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!!! 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, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Jet etc. i.e. boycott BP and Esso.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!
