You can't get away from coverage of the UK's economic woes and the weakness of Sterling. But iPM listener Robert Hoyle emailed to say that not every angle's been raked over quite yet. He says no one talks about the plight of Brits abroad, especially the retired.

"Pensioners have seen their pensions decrease by 30% this year when paid from the UK."

Labour MP Denis MacShane Last week, the former Europe minister warned in a that expats across the EU would bear the brunt of the credit crunch.

"I'm not sure I would even want to be a Brit in Spain. There are already some low-level rumblings in Spain that the ageing end of the British population are demanding the care and attention that older people do."

Heard any rumblings? Been rumbled at?
