Vassili, I didn't say that it is incorrect in British English to call a foreigner an alien, I merely said that I believed that most people in England would call a foreign worker a foreign worker or a foreigner and would regard aliens as being beings from another planet. This is my opinion. If you disagree with it - ignore it.

In England, I believe that most people would call this type of 'αλλοδαπος' a 'foreign worker', and usually consider an 'alien' to be a being from another planet.
