A foster carer has lifted the lid on a hilarious comeback one boy gave him when he said hello in Russian.
Phil Watson, has been a foster carer since 2010 and is now a recruiter of foster carers for Liverpool City Council. After the release of the new John Lewis advert, which follows a foster dad-to-be learning to skateboard in order to have something in common with the teenage girl, Phil spoke to the ECHO his own experiences with fostering.
The 52-year-old, who lives in Mossley Hill and teaches foreign languages at King David High School, spoke about the arrival of a 10-year-old boy who needed care after his mum fell ill as such an example. He said: "About 10 years ago, we got a message saying 'can you foster a boy, we think he's 10, and we think he's Russian and can we drop him off at your house this afternoon?'.
