Subject: Fw: Price of Petrol
This is serious, read on........and pass it round
Subject: Fw: Price of Petrol
This is about PETROL PRICES so Join the resistance!!!!
I hear 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.Phillip Hollsworth, in the USA, 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 with us! By now you're probably thinking petrol priced at about 77p a litre is
super cheap. Me too! It is currently 79p - 83p for regular unleaded in
some towns.
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.
How?
Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying petrol. But we
CAN have an impact on petrol prices if we all act together to force a
price war.
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 about thirty 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. (If you
don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is
send this to 10 people.... well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician. But I am... so trust me on this one.)
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
AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Being a Gooner I'm just a tad biased but why no Ray Parlour? He's like a stick of rock with "ENGLISH AND PROUD OF IT" written right through him.

England winning the World Cup?Elton:can things get any better?

A woman had been absent from college for a number of weeks. When she returned one of her close friends was curious as to why she had been sick for so long. The following story emerged. The woman and her boyfriend enjoyed involving food in their foreplay, mars bars,cream,syrup, gravy, peanut butter, you name it. One day the boyfriend,
before going to work,made his sandwiches for the day, tuna mayonnaise leaving the leftover tuna Mayo lying out on the kitchen top. He went to work,came home, had dinner and relaxes in for a night in with his girlfriend. Time passes and the pair of them get in the mood and start “doing the do”. The boyfriend leaps up, after yodelling in
the canyon for a while, and remembers the tuna Mayo. He gets the tuna Mayo off the kitchen table begins to slap it all over his girlfriend’s
body (applying voluminous amounts to her vaginal area) and starts to lick it off. Two days later after their night of tuna Mayo lust has passed,
the couple start to feel very ill. The boyfriend first, he seems to be unable to stop vomiting and the girlfriend later who keeps on getting severe stomach cramps. The boyfriend puts this down to eating the tuna Mayo that had been lying out uncovered all day, and sure enough his jippy belly soon eases off after day or so. His girlfriend, however, continues to feel ill, her pain worsening and her abdominal area becoming increasingly sore and tender. This goes on for a few more days until the girlfriend can’t even
get out of her bed for the pain in her crotch and abdominal area. So her boyfriend takes her to the doctors,who recommends she see a gynaecologist. Thinking she may have cervical cancer, the gynaecologist checks her out and to his horror discovers far inside the woman’s vagina is a
swarm of maggots that have been eating into her upper vaginal cavity. Apparently what happened was the tuna Mayo, after being left uncovered, in the sun, attracted a number of flies, who naturally laid their eggs, which the boyfriend ate and the girlfriend incubated.
ANOTHER TRUE STORY
A woman went through the drive- thru of Burger King for lunch a couple of years ago. She ordered a chicken sandwich (the breaded kind...before spicy chicken or grilled chicken became big sellers for BK) and specifically requested NO MAYO because she couldn’t stand the stuff. She drove away without confirming that she got what she ordered. As she drove, she began to eat the sandwich and realised that there was mayo on. She was none too pleased but was so hungry that she ate it anyway. When she got about halfway through the sandwich, she began to feel very ill. She stopped eating the sandwich but felt increasingly
worse as she continued to drive. She felt so bad that she drove herself to the hospital emergency room. She took her sandwich with her since she
started feeling bad after eating the sandwich. The hospital performed tests on both her and the sandwich and found out the following... The Sandwich actually didn’t have any Mayo on it.
In reality, the chicken had a tumour on its breast. When the chicken was breaded and fried, the tumour burst inside the breaded chicken
breast. The Mayo-like substance was actually puss from the tumour. Kind of makes you want to swear off fast food and Mayo, doesn’t it!
ANOTHER TRUE STORY......
This girl was really in a hurry one day so she just stopped off at a Taco Bell and got a Chicken soft taco and ate it on the way home. That night she noticed her jaw was kind of tight and Swollen. The next day it was a little worse so she went to her doctor. He said she was just having an allergic reaction to something and gave her some cream to rub on her jaw. After a couple of days the swelling had just gotten worse and she
could hardly move her jaw. She went back to her doctor to see what was wrong. Her doctor had no idea so he started to run some tests. They
scrubbed out the inside of her mouth to get tissue samples and they also took some saliva samples. Well, they found out what was wrong.
Apparently her chicken soft taco had a pregnant cockroach in the one she ate!!!! The eggs then somehow got into her saliva glands and she
was incubating them. They had to remove a couple layers of her inner mouth to get all the eggs out. If they hadn’t figured out what was going on, the eggs would have hatched inside the lining of her mouth.
Enjoy your Lunch!!!

Will do. Think it's more than likely that I'll (sorry we'll) be there. Will probably be on the Sunday as that's when Debs and I get to be kid-free as her two little delights go to their Dads for the day. Mate at work says it IS the best of the shows, I've never been so is he right?. Debs is normally keen to tag along but was a bit jaded at the last one in Peterborough. All a bit samey says she. What can I tell her is different and special about this show?stickfloatking:Not sure about the carnations Polly :confused:
Ill be there thats for sure even if it's raining snowing or anything else him up stairs can throw at us. Went in october last year due to the foot & mouth. Was like a mud bath but was a good laugh watching people walking round in trainers
.Lets us Know if your going for def' and ill give you me mobil number. Ferret will be with me as well.

Hope to be there but depends on how may spare pennies are floating around the kitty!!! also whether "she who must be obeyed" allows it. Maybe we from AN should all wear red carnations or carry rolled up Angling Times under our arms.

Be like me and don't buy a daily paper. Your money only fuels their fires. Why is it they have to try to undo all the hard work that has gone into getting us to the World Cup finals? and what perfect timing. Haven't read the ***** they've written so don't know all details but is it possible they've held it back and released it now, just a few weeks before the finals to deliberately to undermine Englands chances???
Shoot them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bretty,Bretty:Does any one else get this.
This year we've probabley had about 7 or 8 visits from door to door salesmen type people, all offering us cheaper energy bills? Obviously on commission they lie and say anything so you sign up to their billing agency. :mad:
Had one the night before last, he tried to walk through me and our door way (very pushy), really smarmy guy thought he was my best mate. "your intitle to 20-30% off your bill because the government have claimed your paying too much, just sign here..."
They all have these different official looking tables which claim they are cheaper then your current supplier tho never explain the hidden charges very well?
I told him i'd heard it all before and i won't sign anything.
I was Glad my girlfriend hadn't answered the door it was difficult getting rid of him, He was really persuasive and had a story for every thing!
Is this sort of door to door style contracting legal? and is there a way i can find out who is the really the cheapest supplier?
Bretty
Know what you mean. I bought a GSD pup last August. He's 10 months old now and weighs 6 1/2 stone, strangly enough those callers don't seem quite so keen to hang around and persuade me to sign up these days. Have just started to train him to answer the phone!!! Best £400 I've ever spent.

The £21 covers you for 52 weeks so it's not such a big chunk of £55 x 52 = £2860 is it? 0.73% unless I'm very much mistaken. I too am a non-smoker and have been now for some 15 months, I do however enjoy a pint or two. My 2 children frequently have beans (Tesco blue stripe!) on toast (again Tesco blue stripe bread!). I empathise with you financial position but find it difficult to believe that you cant find 40p or so every week to pay for your license. Why not drop any loose change (copper coins)into a sealed bottle or jar every week, it soon adds up. Anyway as money is so tight how do you fund internet access to visit this site? Maybe a few less hours in front of the screen would allow you to pay for your license without the worry of not being able to eat. You could then fish with a clear concience in the knowledge that you were legal and not breaking the law everytime you take to the bank.Ian B:Polly,
I agree with the fact that the licence fee is equal to 6p a day which i agree is good VFM. I am not being petty or blowing my own trumpet when I say I neither smoke or drink and have not done so for over 10 years now. I still do not understand what the EA does for ME. You might be in a position to pay double for your licence as are a lot of people however I am not and £21 out of £55 is one hell of a chunk especially when the kids say "Oh no, not beans again" or "What do you mean no evening meal tonight, Oh you got a fishing licence, well bl**dy marvellous" Do you see my point? Trying to save 6p a day does not work because something like Gas, Electricity, kids shoes etc always comes up, I think concessionary licences should be extended to the unemployed, Carers etc. As for your idea about cleaning banks or swims or being a baliff for a licence BRILLIANT. I'll do it no trouble at all. I still pose my original question "Why should I buy one?"
I think others replies have given a good indication of what it is that the EA do for their money.
