According to a UN-backed global study, Sweden is the best place in the world to be old.
(Sweden, Norway and Germany headed the list, whilst Britain was rated 13th, one place behind Ireland. So, I guess I won't be moving any time soon. Sorry to say Afghanistan, Tanzania and Pakistan ranked lowest, but don't worry, the only way is up.)
