Bashyr,
As Dr Smith seems to have taken exception to my last email, may I suggest
that this was as relevant as many other non-pure OH threads that appear on
this board. Many of our colleagues out there are sole OH practitioners who
are also peripatetic, relying on their cars to visit clients, and to earn a
living. Anything that reduces the overall cost of the provision of OH to
small companies can only benefit OH generally and the employees of those
companies specifically.........
Regards, Bob

Hi Everyone,
Good idea, however, I suggest you look at other options...... I did, and I
am now paying only 42p per litre !!
For those that have petrol driven cars, think about changing to LPG, you can
do your bit for the environment and get cheaper motoring also.
OK, there is an initial outlay of ~£1000-£2000 dependant of model/make but I
recouped that in the first 15 months of motoring after conversion.....in
fact the more miles you do, quicker is your return. DVLA also give you a
slightly cheaper Road Tax....... and your insurance premiums do not
change....... also, the second-hand value of your car at trade-in rises by
approx £1000.
Regards, Bob

We are hitting 95p a litre in some areas now (has it been below 95p/litre,
recently??), 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 MILLIONPEOPLE!!!
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
