Stop Esso day

Stop Esso Day: copyright Alex Snelling
On the first Stop Esso day, in villages, towns and cities across the UK and Ireland, over 3000 people peacefully and legally campaigned at Esso petrol stations.
They spent the day handing out leaflets and stickers, explaining to motorists and passers-by why they should join in boycotting Esso. There were even several Esso tigers roaming around, keeping the kids entertained.
Motorists were shocked to hear about Esso's dirty tricks and many vowed not to buy from Esso again.
