The Eastern Europeans get a lot of bad press, some of it deserved, but I would like to put in a couple of words for my stepson's Polish school friend. Unlike some kids he's always polite and well-behaved. I've got quite used to those blue eyes and that cheeky grin, and I know that his dad is in regular work. Just one thing though, there are seven kids in the family (I will leave any comments on that to others!)
