Costa lot more?
'I am nearly 70 and my husband is 83, we moved to France for health reasons in 1994. When Equitable Life collapsed, our pension was finally cut by two thirds.
..Now, we are losing a third of the little we have left because of the strength of the Euro against the pound
..We did not expect luxury living - just a simple rural life - but our savings have nearly gone, and it is getting a bit dodgy now!'
