Following the successful Rossport Solidarity meeting earlier this month, around 20 of us went to picket the Shell petrol station at Salford Quays. Among our number were the brilliant Rhythms of Resistance samba band who kept our spirits up on a cold winter's day.

Saturday 18th November, around 20 activists, including the Rhythms of Resistance samba band went to picket the Shell garage at Salford Quays. Whilst the band played, the rest of us leafletted drivers as they arrived and where possible spoke to them. The site of the band made it all the easier to do so and most were prepared to talk too.

The response was generally good. We spoke to them as they arrived and whilst on the forecourt. The message as simple - please don't buy petrol here, better still think whether your car journey is necessary. At least ten cars simply drove away from the garage in the hour and a half we were there, which must have cost them a few hundred pounds.

The leaflet is available at:  http://af-north.org/shell/rossport.htm
