I feel sorry for the English on here having the Scotch has your neighbours and dependants.
They all like to give it out but seem unable to take it - all aboard Scotch men……

And where was the Norwegian economy before oil?
I seem to recall watching a programme about a French photographer at the end of the last century who visited Norway, to find it nothing but a poverty stricken backwater whit a population who were fleeing as fast as they could to get to the new world.
Not much changed until the black gold came along.
With enough natural resources people with bad systems can do a lot. Especially when we consider that on world rankings Norway comes far behind the UK on issues such as economic freedom.
Be lucky that you stumbled across that resource.
