But it might be the case in the not too distant future and as nothing is known at the moment I think it quite likely that there are Brits who have just put their retirement relocation plans on hold for the time being. And the thing is......if you are old enough to be retiring/retired then time isn't exactly on your side, is it? Whoever becomes prime minister of this country they can only ...

And of course the developers can always go back to TDC planners sometime in the future and plead that even that amount ...
