It's true! Immigrants take our wives...

Apparently there is some election going on which appears to distract our American friends, so I thought I would raise the intellectual tone and provide some news of gravitas for the rest of us.

Polish Worker sleeps at wrong house.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A man from Scunthorpe rolled over in his bed to discover a Polish workman in place of his wife.

Graham Handley's wife Linda had gone into their eight-year-old son Adam's room because he was having trouble sleeping. She had nodded off there while Graham slept in their bed.

His sleep was disturbed by the sound of someone getting under the covers and he muttered a greeting to Linda.

But he leapt out of bed when the reply was a deep baritone and in a foreign tongue.

The Polish worker went straight to sleep and would not move even when police arrived.

It is believed the exhausted immigrant worker who lived in a neighbouring street got confused after a late shift.

He walked into the Handley home through an unlocked back door, took off his shoes, ate a large chocolate cake from the kitchen and then went to sleep in Graham's bed.

According to the Mirror, Graham, 45, said: "He wouldn't get up for anyone. He told the police to go away and they were standing there laughing. Then a big burly officer came and took him downstairs."

Linda said: "Graham woke me up and said there was a man in bed with him. I thought he was dreaming and told him not to be stupid."

Police said a 25-year-old man had been cautioned.

Gives a whole new meaning to waking up with a pole...

And that, children, is why you should lock your house doors.

Agreed.

Hehehe but you can see how honest are polish workers.
They are working so hard that after work they are so tired that can't even recognise directions. You should be pround that he is working into GB.

You know, as I clicked the link I thought to myself: "Self, are you sure you want to do this?" But it was too late.

Edit: And did he eat a whole cake?

[Craterus]

How rude!

[Mooks]

Id be pretty pissed if someone ate my cake.

Well going after the cakes much better than getting a piece of the pie

I don't know...on that line of thought, 'chocolate cake' might be worse.

Did You really have to?

[Hepcat]

I guess he wasn't charged with anything. What are the chances that the one house he walks into the man's wife was sleeping in another room. Quite a coincidence.

[Fragony]

The poor guy must have been exhausted, or very very drunk

Absolutely.
