John ... I know you've mentioned your reasons for doing so before. But ... in the present context ... I wonder if you could refresh my memory as to what motivated you MOST to move abroad - and WHY you chose Spain in the end?
OK ... like ME - and every other British male over the age of 65 who has paid National Insurance contributions throughout his working life - YOU'RE entitled to receive the State Pension,. But residing in sunny *Spain all year round you're hardly going to NEED a heating allowance, ARE you?
Besides, I imagine
the cost of living *there is a damn sight cheaper than it is in the UK. And finally ... for those of us [in Scotland] who cannot afford the upkeep of running a car, the Bus Pass is a real BOON! I ought to add that I'm not sure HOW far the scope of Travel Cards extends South of the Border.
