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.
