Or all the poor sods who ended up with their pension schemes going kaput who werent lucky enough to swan off at 50 on a public sector final salary.

I would think theres enough people without or with a very little private pension who bought their own houses for next to nothing thanks to maggie and espeically in the south east sold them off for 100s of k

Lavanda, Evelyn and Elusive ...Thought provoking and humourous comments...Thank You...

Katy,
I don't do 'little digs', I just state the facts and I must point out that you are not the only 'Gone Back' expat who contributes here, and anyway I really love you and your sometimes twisted humour... :wave:

Have a lovely evening everyone...wherever you are... :D

Regards,
Gordon the Gardener.....
