Dear British Gas Shareholder,

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

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?

The category that's also heard of BG Group PLC, thanks.

That would be the smart-arse group, then. Or perhaps the Mary Fisher
group...
