Bad info listed here. I received a response from the Linde Group today: :hmm:

“In response to your September 5, 2008 email regarding the Woking, Surrey, Metro Hotel: we can assure you that neither BOC nor Linde have any ownership stake in the Metro Hotel or in the other company you listed as an owner, American Amusements Ltd.

BOC and Linde are industrial gases companies, not hoteliers.

We are not sure where this information came from, but we are certain that it is wrong. We are trying now to set the record straight.

Please feel free to contact us if you need more information.

Sincerely,

Janice M. Lamb
Marketing Support Manager

Maybe there is some attorney out there who can find some law that would require them to take “American” out of their title. Seems to me that it is misleading for a company to us this in their company title if they have no affliation with America or an American owned company. I find is myself thinking that maybe the reputation of our country is not necessarily all due to our own actions but may be due to actions of companies like this who use our name to spread very un-American like policies and activities.

I am so darn mad! Yes this company needs to pay! And pay they will! I will not stand for this and my fellow Americans will not as well. Boycott is obvious, however it is not enough. I will lead a campaign to see to it that justice is served. We must demand that they remove American from the title of the company. They are anything but American. No one likes war but you must love and respect the person who will give their life for the country you reside in. We must flood their phone lines, stuff their mail box, do what ever it takes to make en example of these ungrateful bastards. All the information is provided above. I have already called almost all of the numbers listed numerous times and I will continue for a very long time.

It seems to me this is a local (to U.K. only) company. Recommend holding off the flames until the details come out and I’m sure they will. If they are a subsidiary or partially owned by another company, boycotting of the responsible company (in this case American Amusements Ltd.) will send a large enough signal to those that have invested in them to get out. Money talks, loudly, and if they lose money they lose their investors.

“I am not sure if she did it or not, but it seems they want no part of this.”

And who would…. ofcourse, in Berkely they’d be applauding and buying shares in the company for such actions..

:ptbaa: I tried calling the complaint department listed for the US above. The lady was very nice, but apparently the word from above is: You have the wrong company, we represent a linde co. but they have nothing to do with this. I asked her to pass it on any way since we show them owning this group. I am not sure if she did it or not, but it seems they want no part of this.
