UK State Pensioners resident in Canada do not fare as well as their fellow Pensioners, who are resident in the UK. However that does not mean that UK pensioners who reside in the UK are having an easy time of it.
Michael Thompson, who is the founder of Link-Age/Countrywide and is a member of The Devon Pensioners Action Forum took the time to respond to another blog post on 10 Downing Street Twitterings While UK Pensioners Freeze.
He also sent me some information on how UK State pensions compare with those in the rest of Europe as a percentage of the average wage. As this chart shows, Britain is at the bottom of this State Pension league table.
His information made me aware of another useful website, Seniors Network,
which claims to be the Top Web Site For the Over 50′s in the UK. If you wander around that website, I think you will find the claim to be well justified. Thank you, Michael Thompson, for introducing me to that Seniors Network website. If you wish to contact Michael Thompson then you can do that by email or by telephone at 01803 857020 after 7pm GMT. If others know of useful sites for seniors, then perhaps they could mention them in the comments. The best will be featured in the Money Resources page.
