Third of Britons 'want to leave'
More than a third of Britons are likely to consider moving abroad when they retire due to the country's poor weather and rising costs, new research revealed.
Britain's poor climate was a key reason for thinking about leaving, with almost two-thirds (69%) saying that the weather would drive them overseas.
The Scottish Widows study found finances were also a major reason why 35% of those questioned, dubbed "emi-greys", said they would consider moving abroad after retirement.
