I think they've bought up all of Londonistan!
Actually, although we used to joke about them when we worked there, they're not stupid. They know that their oil won't last for ever, and their market for 'guest workers' will dry up.
For that reason, not only are they investing abroad, they're also building up their cities in Western styles and, more importantly, they are attempting to train up their own people to take over from foreign workers who have been running their country for them for many years now.
I suspect that, in time when their own natural resources run out, they'll end up like us in the UK relying on service industries.
