Karl H you should know that 'turnover' means sales, not profit. Granted that still doesn't mean that Big Oil isn't ripping everyone off with overpriced oil. By Ron P | July 9, 2009 3:59 PM The royal family likes this seeing they are the largest stock holders in Shell. It is far time to erase the "royalty" from Europe and step into the 21st century. All oil companies are scumballs but for now the public relies on their product. It is far too long that the oil industry has been operating without government oversight and looting your hard earned money. By Tallpaul@online.ie | July 10, 2009 11:34 AM Place your comments: |
