truman Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Strangely, and possibly for the only time in my life, I find myself pretty much supporting the actions of Greenpeace. See, like British Telecom and British Gas, I think British Petroleum are nothing more than rip-off merchants. The prefix British seems to allow these companies to charge far more than their competitors and this is never more apparent than at the petrol pumps. Add onto this the sheer mess of BP's oil leak/catastrophe and the fact that the general in charge of this environmental crime is, according to the media, about to receive a golden handshake in the region of £12M then yes, hats off to Greenpeace for once. Anyone know where I can buy lentils from? It hasn't been British Petroleum for years.......it's just BP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Tell that to the people who are cancelling their donations to greenpeace. People actually send donations to these idiots , although worse in the US arer the cars I see lined up at the Citco gas stations because it's cheaper...Citco owned by Venezuelas Chavez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to choose which petrol station I fill up at, which envoronmental groups I support and who I hire when I want stuff moved. I always look on the forum for recommendations. Guess who I won't be hiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where I can buy lentils from? They're not 'British' Petroleum anyway - that's the British company. The American company is AMOCO (aka 'The American Oil Company'). O'bama doesn't seem to want to mention that:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkey Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well the lentil munching, yoghurt knitting, fake dredlocked crusties over @ Greenpeace may have gone a little too far for the average man in the street by closing down some BP stations in London today. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10771805 However looking at some of the (moderated) comments appearing on their website, joe public is not impressed with the eco-terrorists actions. http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/ So what you are saying is it's a good day for morons? Is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
