The feeling prevailing was that the northeast was rich so there was no need for government monies. There was a real feeling of jealousy that Aberdeen was the centre of the oil industry, not Glasgow where it belonged. Whilst good pay was true for some, for those who weren't rich being poor in a relatively rich society only heightened the feeling of poorness and actual poorness as costs here were higher for those not on big salaries. But as you said not one single f*uck was given. As we say in these parts it was a sair fecht.

I hope I've stuck to the point and not been too distracted by your deflection, facetiousness and irrelevance.
I spent nearly 20 years in Glasgow. Never had any problems to speak of. Trouble is pretty easy to find when you have a chip on your shoulder. That applies to anywhere. I've found in smaller places (e.g. Dumfries) it's harder to avoid.
