Crying over spilt petrol

SHELLING out on a couple of houses in Grimsby will be small fry to the might of oil giant, but it underlines what corporate responsibility means in no uncertain terms to smaller businesses.
As reported in the Telegraph today , the Anglo-Dutch company Shell has made the purchases following leaks from a tank on the site of a now-demolished petrol station in Grimsby.
It will no doubty have cost them the best part of £1-million already, and estimates suggest it will take between three and four years to clean the ground up from the 1,000-litre leak and legal proceedings are possible with the Environment Agency involved.
A tiny dint in the hourly profits of the company, but the message to private petrol station owners must be stark.
