    as I pointed out above the Shell contribution to that pension scheme has not been onerous in the past 20 years. .
    I took that on board, but its the next 20 years I would be concerned about.

    Well I don't know whether the shareholders will make any money out of the frackers but I am sure the lawyers will

    Could spend a whole week reading what a behemoth like this is up to around the world, probably should :p
    Well the more I read, the more confused I got. I found of lots of positive, and negative, things said about Shell.
    Macondo is still dragging BP shares down, with good reason. Shell have also had disasters in the past, maybe could again, but Shell's disasters seem to have been forgotten about.
