Title: Ban Esso Bp viral
Post by: feeutfo on 24 January 2011, 10:01:24

There's a viral email going round. Basically suggests banning the major suppliers for-courts and only using the cheaper outlets. Idea being to force the higher prices down to be competitive.

Anyone seen it? Only heard of it so far.

Suspect most people already do that anyway, no?

Assuming I'm thinking of the right one, it's just a modification of one that started back in 2006 in the US, according to Snopes:

Looks broadly similar, just modified for the uk.
