Dear FairFuelUK Supporter,
The BBC are launching a new programme in which people can suggest what’s really annoying and upsetting them about Britain.  It’s called “THAT’S BRITAIN”. Details can be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk...ammes/b017sq33.
 
The show is offering people the opportunity to send in a very short email stating what they find most annoying about Britain.We know from the fantastic support that you and so many others have given us over recent weeks that the price of petrol and diesel is at the top of many people’s ‘ANNOYING LIST’.
 
 Help us let the team at “THAT’S BRITAIN” see just how ‘annoyed’ we are at the scandalous level of petrol and diesel in Britain.  Any resultant coverage will be another boost to our campaign
 
This is how to contact the programme and tell the BBC of your annoyance towards high fuel prices:
Send an email to talktothewall@bbc.co.uk
In the subject line, put ONE of the following phrases ‘PETROL PRICES’ or ‘DIESEL PRICES’ or ‘COST OF FILLING UP’. Add or change the heading to suit your approach but only 2 or 3 words are allowed by the BBC.
In the body of the email just say in your own style and in a very few words how severely the high prices of petrol & diesel are affecting you. Then send the email. 
Also if you have a twitter account you can "tweet" the programme with your annoyances on fuel prices at @BBCThatsBritain 
Thanks again for all the support you continue to give to FairFuelUK. We are hopeful of some positive news in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement scheduled for next week - Tuesday 29th November.  As ever, the more people that sign up to www.fairfueluk.com, the louder and more effective our voice becomes.  So please continue to pass on this message to family, friends and contacts urging them to sign up and to also follow us on Twitter - @FairFuelUK
 
Thanks again for all your support in the fight for lower petrol and diesel prices
 
Very kind regards

How about putting 75% tax (or whatever it is now) in the subject line?

Ok but would that be specific enough to identify this is about fuel prices only?

I think it needs to quite specific for it to work. I saw the program the other night when the hot topic was 'dog poo' there were several other words on the board which amounted to the same thing but were counted separately.

If you are keen you can send the emails from multiple email addresses. Any more than one from a single address will be discarded.
