We have always wanted to fix a meeting and this has been arranged for Friday. Shell have treated the private investor very badly indeed. There are a considerable number of private investors in Royal Dutch Petroleum who have not taken up the offer.
There is no reason why Shell could not have done this at the start and if they had, then it could have saved a lot of heartache,
Shell has saved money so it has a responsibility to help right the wrong of leaving individual holders with a large tax bill.
