My pensioner neighbour can afford to run his most of the time. Just live in one room. He’s not a wealthy pensioner by any stretch, but canny with money. He’s 89.

I’ve an SUV. I’ve bad arthritis and getting in any other type of vehicle is very difficult…getting out is even worse, but even bus steps are hard to negotiate. I’d much rather have a smaller car, but can’t.

I think one of the problems is that few decent bungalows are built. I want to die rooms not downsize the size of the rooms. More bungalows would facilitate the movement of older people from bigger houses. Perfect for families.
