Watcher User ID: 18850150 United States 12/25/2012 03:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Greeks Can't Afford to Heat Homes . " Kostas Tsitskos, 88, can’t afford fuel to heat his home against the winter’s cold. So he and his son live in a single bedroom, warmed by a small electric heater. “One room is enough,” said Tsitskos, who lives on a 734 euro-a-month ($971) pension and doesn’t have the 1,000 euros a month he needs to buy heating oil.

We live in a very sad world

Ostria1 User ID: 29325791 Greece 12/25/2012 05:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Greeks Can't Afford to Heat Homes I guess he said for all winter, not a month. The heating oil price was raised a lot this year so many people cant afford it, as we also pay more taxes and the salaries and pensions have dropped dramatically.

The hoards that destroyed Rome, used their library books as fire to warm themselves.
