    Yup they reinvested a lot of the oil money back into their country and population whereas we in the UK (Scotland) had it squandered.

      Squandered? Surely the benefactors wouldn’t call it that.

      Look at the Iranian mullahs for a more in-your-face example of what usually happens with the oil money.
