Ann,
Your posts are obviously a wind up but i am going to go with the flow as i find them very entertaining .................(you are not Norman Sands by nom de plume by any chance are you ?).
So, you come to Spain with no where to live, no job, a disabled husband, a grandchild still at school, no "benefits" to be had in Spain from the social that you can claim for, and you are suffering from a disabling condition that may get better in the sun !!!
So then basically, like you have mentioned before in your posts, you are basically becoming an economic migrant. The same economic migrant that you have ranted about that have destroyed the UK.
What kind of "work" do you think you can possibly do better than a Spaniard, Pole, Ukranian, Morroccan, Tunisian, Libyan, Romanian, or Bulgarian can do ?
How much do you get in "benefits" in UK at the moment ? or is that a touchy question ? Yes, i agree if you are disabled then you have "Entitlements" whatever that means ????? but how much do you think the Spaniard's, Pole's, Ukranian's, Morroccan's, Tunisian's, Libyan's, Romanian's, or Bulgarian's etc......get out here ?
Get real, get a job, and get a life !
I am 61 years of age and still working as hard as ever, I am in Syria working at the moment (and its kicking off big time), before that i was in Libya and that kicked off, before that i was in Egypt and that kicked off, Yes my bones ache, Yes i feel pain, Yes it is hard getting out of bed in the morning, Yes it gauls me to see migrants taking all the jobs in UK , Yes i should have saved more when i was younger, Yes i shouldn't have pizzed it up against the wall when i was younger, Yes i should have taken more interest in my education when i was younger, Yes i should have taken more care of my body - Rugby took its toll but i do not regret one minute of my formative years, and finally, Yes i wish i knew then what i know now ( we all like that one don't we !!!).
But...., i have a home in UK that my wife and i have paid for and is mortgage free, We also have a home in Spain that is also ours and mortgage free. Hard work got me what i have today and this will be my legacy for my children and grandchildren. As long as i can possibly work i will, i realise ill health may become an obstacle as i get older, but until it happens i will NOT become a slave or victim to the insiduous response "I am over fifty- so i am old - i am over the hill - i cannot work any more - i am in pain so i am disabled -i do not like working with younger people - i am too fat to work - i am too ill to work - i have worked long enough now i need state benefits - i am entitled to this - i am entitled to that - blah blah blah.
I can only repeat, get real, get a job and get a life !
