Blond and Swedish?

"I hear you are Swedish," said one of the teachers at my present school the other day.
"Who told you that?" I asked in surprise.
"One of the children," she said. "So I suppose you speak swedish, then? Of course, you have got blond hair."
I briefly toyed with the idea of going along with it, inventing an imaginary Scandinavian extended family and then decided it was too much trouble.
"No, I don't know where he got that from," I said.
"Oh," she said, looking at me searchingly as if she didn't really believe me, "But you have got that blond hair......."

As a taxpayer who is working full time (when work is available) to achieve a very modest standard of living whilst training for what will be my second career at my own expense, I object most strongly to having to contribute towards maintaining John Prescott in the very un-modest lifestyle in which he is apparently going to continue whilst receiving a very generous salary at our expense for doing nothing!
