Dear British Gas Shareholder,

I assume that if you wanted to show that you were a regular smart-arse
with little to contribute in general, you may say:

"British Gas doesn't HAVE any shareholders, and hasn't had for eleven
years."

If you were wanting to be genuinely helpful you could say something
along the lines of:

"Actually - there are no shareholders in BG anymore - Centrica was
formed in February 1997 following a demerger from British Gas plc and
is now the parent company of British Gas."

Which category would you be in?
