Just thought I'd let other readers know that there's something of a consumer revolt going on in the UK with a widely circulated email campaign urging drivers not to buy from BP and Esso the two largest fuel distributors here.
Nothing high minded behind it, like the effect on Ukraine, simply a protest about the price now approaching 1 or about 10 Hrv a litre.
Hitting them where it hurts it's hoped, will oblige them to reduce prices and hopefully the smaller companies who haven't been boycotted will be obliged to follow.
