GPSInfo probably has me categorized as a BP diehard. In fact they sooled Ailsa Duffy QC [then] onto me when I was on tv explaining why the oil industry and BP were doing a bad job of introducing unleaded petrol. I was on a couple of channels having written a screed detailing the bad situation [running to 20 pages or so] which I sent to anyone who I thought might be interested. kiwisfirst.co.nz They got Beppie Holm to go up against me on the programme [run by Paul Holmes]. linkedin.com Fortunately I was right [it pays to be accurate and correct] and so there was nothing they could do. In NZ, the average Kiwi is anti Big Oil too, so the news media liked the story. Ex oil guy against the big bad multinationals, with rotten petrol wrecking the cars, making them leak and catch fire. Hmmmm, I see she is still with BP, now in Angola. That's about where ElM hangs out unraveling optical fibre. No doubt BP will find uses for ElM's fibre. Hopefully by way of Qualcomm CDMA communications. Isn't it a small world? Hmmmm, Angloa, oil, BP, China in Angloa, China needs lots of Angloan oil; maybe I should go to Shanghai and set up shop there for BP, where my grandfather was working in the oil industry 100 years ago. Angloa = a good Anglo name for Angola. Plus ca change... Mqurice
