If you think your circumstances have changed with the crisis....
I knew things were bad in the UK, but could not belive my eyes when I saw this recent photo of the Queen.
Many are losing out with the exchange rate etc......... but to see our Monarch huddled over her gas fire.........

Don't agree with the article about stopping the winter fuel payment for expat pensioners

I think Prince Phillip might have been preparing the hot water bottles, it is a long cold winter for pensioners. Sad to see the Queen having to choose between "heat or eat".

I really think that many of us have paid large amounts over the years into the British coffers via tax and insurance stamps and are entitled to this money

I do feel so cross when the ones who have supported the country for many years paid high tax bills.
While the B scroungers who have taken and not contributed get all the monetry help to live comfortably and we are penilised because we have worked hard to ahieve a home in Espana

Warm country? I know this has been said before but there are not many parts of Spain that are warm in time of year. In fact, many parts of Spain are colder. Added to that, you have many houses that are not adequately ( and in some places not at all) insulated to cope with the change in temperatures.

On a more serious note ,yes I do think things are getting tighter
My pension now is much reduced by the exchange rate
Plus there must be a difference when paying utility bills when transfering cash to Spain.
People with mortgages must find it hard now.
Food more expensive now all because of the exchange rate of the UK pound
In UK & Spain I feel sorry for them.
With young families as all employment everywhere now is not safe .
