Thomsonfly and Climate Change
Below are extracts of letters between
the
airline company Thomsonfly and Peter Shullot about climate
change. The letters in full are at the bottom of the page. This is one of 65
sets of letters so you can find out what your supermarket, energy supplier and
car manufacturer, and oil companies, airlines, house builders and other
companies really think about climate change. The name Peter Shullot is
made up – it is an anagram of The Polluters.
To
Alex Hunter, Chief
Commercial Officer –
Me and the
wife have had many a happy holiday with Thomsonfly. With our two teenage
children Wayne and Tracey brandishing their tattoos and England football shirts
we have always felt at home on your plane and in your hotels. We have always
done full justice to the all inclusive part of the package and returned home
refreshed, relaxed and eaten enough to move us from overweight to obese. Thank
you.
I’m concerned that this will all end. The government’s issue of the moment is
climate change. But instead of getting excited about it one week and then
dropping it the next, they actually seem to believe that, one, it’s real, and
two, we’re bothered by it. The government has allowed themselves to be conned by
the greens.
The problem with these whining green types is they have a difficulty with other
people enjoying themselves. If they had their way we’d all have to walk to work,
wear hemp instead of fur, smoke pot instead of fags, McDonald’s would only sell
lentil soup, and we’d all take our holidays in Blackpool. Now I’ve nothing
against Blackpool – the hotels can always be relied on for service and
discretion – but I don’t want sand in my chips and rain in my lager.
Later letter to Alex Hunter –
Your slogan is Don’t just travel, travel with a smile. To which I say I
hope your shares plummet and all your planes crash.
I don’t want to start travelling with Cosmos but I have no choice.
Sadly Thomsonfly declined to reply
