John Foster, who appeared in a Channel 4 Dispatches programme called Britain's Forgotten Pensioners, said he has turned off his empty fridge and sits in the dark at night to save electricity. The 76-year-old, from Sunderland, lives alone in the house he used to share with his parents and two siblings, and told of his daily struggle to cope with his isolation as well as the financial pressures caused by the rising cost of living. 'I'm completely on my own. I haven't even got any relations anywhere, I'm just here, that's it. Existing,' he told the documentary. Pictured left: Mr Foster showing how he lays out his will before going to bed.
