Some of you might have heard that in France the social climate is not very up to scratch to say the less because of oil price increase and others factors...
An idea, people circulate an email to complaint about the increase in petrol / diesel prices.
What they advocate is to boycott the 2 major oil company TOTAL and SHELL in France and not to buy from them any longer..... They think that they can get oil company into a price war.
Really do not know if this is going to work, but it seems a easy enough idea though.
Will follow that up and post on the forum.
Let me know what you think

steph, think you have a good idea in principal, but Gibbo is right in as far as fuel companies price fixing & the govt. tax on top. Why else do you often get two petrol stations, different companies, one on one side of the road and the other on the opposite side. Good way of price fixing? The French seem to have a flair for getting their point across, something we could learn from instead of being too polite ALL the time & apathetic.
I'd certainly give it a go - n'owt to loose.
