`Terry's' error

From Joanna Gray

Sir: If Toby Young's cleaner is Polish, why does he insist on calling her by a Russian name (No life, 9 September)? Her calling him Terry instead of Toby could merely be her revenge. Perhaps if he tries calling her Irena instead of Irina, the grosz (and not the kopek) will eventually drop.
