HeadingNorth Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 And if it crosses to France ! Mon Dieu ! Once they hear the words "British" Petroleum they'll be all yelling and screaming "Maudit Anglais" as well as "Sale Americains" I'm not sure that the French are stupid enough to try to blame a company that no longer exists and hasn't done for many years. Perhaps you have reason to think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I'm not sure that the French are stupid enough to try to blame a company that no longer exists and hasn't done for many years. Perhaps you have reason to think otherwise. Why would the average Frenchman know anything about a foreign petroleum company? I dont know anything about Pemex the major oil company in Mexico, only the name. I can see it now. Ist Frenchman: It was a BP oil rig 2nd Frenchman: BP ! Que est BP? 1st Frenchman: Une compagnie que s'appelle British Petroleum 2nd Frenchman. Gazoline Brittanique? 1st Frenchman: Oui ! C'est Ca! 2nd Frenchman: Merde alors! je vais tuer the prochaine Anglais que je voir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Isn't it amazing how large corporations and government can screw things up beyond belief and at the same time have total control over the little people bickering among themselves. Not a jot of what is said on here will impact the lives of those effected on the stricken coast or those that head Gov or corporations...the latter are sitting pretty either way.

Alien Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Probably not. Probably most in the UK don't either. Ordinary folk in the US like here have more pressing concerns generally. Who does or doesn't know at forum level is more about point scoring I would hazard to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
