Just had a look at my bank statement. Quelle horreur!! this month our pensions are down by around 90 euros EACH! over the last year. That is getting on for 300 euros a month, could be a decent holiday or two, more improvements in the house, new sofas etc.......

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ALL THE CRAP THAT IS GOING ON IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD HAS AFFECTED US LIKE THIS - NOT ONLY US BUT ALL OTHER BODS WHO LIVE OUT OF THE UK AND ARE RECEIVING THEIR PENSIONS FROM THE UK...... HOW ON EARTH DID THE GOVERNMENTS LET THIS HAPPEN. I have read all the theories, explanations and excuses yet the likes of us who DO NOT LIVE ON CREDIT have to suffer...... MAKES ME SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
