Hi De,

Yep.  It actually says (I'm quoting from memory now so bare with me) £400 per month which will let you eat out once a week and includes a few beers (or something like that).
All it doesn't say is whether this is per person or per couple.

If Turkey is so cheap then it must be at least for a couple.

Thanks everyone, it is good to know that if we do finally retire in turkey our measley state pension will go a long way, can't wait.

Debod and Lynda,

I think we should gather all the forum members together that are moving across to Calis and then ask the government for a rebate of all our National Insurance Contributions along with a pension payable immediately on account of the fact that we are not going to be a liability for the country going forward[?] 8) :):D

I've just seen a pig flying outside with big yellow spots on it:P ;)
