Hi everyone,

I thought I'd share a letter that I've sent to Shell HQ:

[B]
Customer Care Centre
3rd Floor
Rowlandsway House
Rowlandsway
Wythenshawe
Manchester
M22 5SB


Dear Sirs,

I am an avid sports car enthusiast who drives a Honda S2000 and like many other owners only uses Shell Optimax fuel. I have been delighted with the performance of this product.

My enthusiasm for this product is shared by many performance car owners (including the S2000 owners

Ohh dear!!!!

(I have a distinct feeling this one is going to go way off topic!)

Some would say I have far too much time on my hands DB, back that could be taken the wrong way as well

Ian, if you haven't already posted the letter could you add...

"PS
Pete says, please could you build a Shell station in Shrewsbury"

They probably would if they realised how much petrol we use at the Supermeets!

Damn good letter, Ian.

I'll be very pleased if you get just as sensible and reasonable a response.

Would I be making myself very unpopular if I said that there was not one, not two but three Shell stations selling Optimax within 5 miles of my house.......?

I'll get my coat.

(Good letter BTW, Ian. I hope they do you the courtesy of a considered reply, not just the usual pre-printed PR b*ll*cks)
