That is indeed the sort of insolvency we want in Scotland. Lets not even mention Norway a country that based most of its economy on oil and as far as I know did not have a recession at all.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-21248121501255988072010-01-29T21:23:34.277+00:002010-01-29T21:23:34.277+00:00Indeed it is a scary prospect Dean.
