I'm also struggling to get by on a pension, I earned every dime of it. While you land lubbers were asleep in you warm stable beds, I was out there on the raging main risking life and limb saving lives and property. And not just 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, but a month at a time, 24/7 in all kinds of weather. Example, the Davis Straights in January.
I'm 77 and I have been on the Dole for many years. Sorry for living so long!
