Shell-Shocked

Those Shell shareholders are a crusty old lot..

The oil giant was holding its AGM at the Barbican yesterday but despite the usual open-door policy for investors at these meetings, two shareholders weren't allowed in.

The two girls — dressed in bikini tops decorated with, yup, you guessed it, seashells — were intending to giveaway leaflets from fixed-odds betting site BetOnMarkets touting the 1 tempting offer of free £25 oil bets.

"Despite selecting some stunning girls for the promotion, the shareholders only had eyes for the words of wisdom from the board," said dejected
BetOnMarkets director Mike Wright.
