    These never-ending campaigns, being perpetuated by email chain-letters, get rather tiresome. Bearing in mind that these protest days come up all the time, how much affect do you think they have...?

    This is around the fourth time I've seen this on KB.

    Shouldn't we just stay home that day, or walk or bicycle to work if poss.??
    No fuel used means no fuel brought the day before or after. That would hurt them, as sales would drop. If thats want you want to do.
    I personally just think of the increase as another tax, pay it, shut the fuck up and have my fun.
    Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

    The way to do this is to select one oil company franchise and boycott that chain for a day,week or whatever thereby creating a price war.

    And, as I've already suggested, keep it going until the price is acceptable.
