They tend to live together in shared houses to reduce the cost. They try to spend as little money as possible so are not really adding to the local economy. The whole idea is to take money out of the UK back home.

yep, your correct, but they are only doing the same as thousands of Brits who are working in the Gulf/Saudi/Nigeria etc. and no one complains about them (in fact the UK Govt. gives them a tax break), they are doing the jobs that the locals don't want (think Saudi) or the jobs the locals as yet cant do ( think pipe welding in Nigeria) ,
simarly with a lot of young Brits who do a 'gap' year in Australia and live in similar situations
What I do find intriging is the fact that the 'eastern europans' seem to have a different physiology than the Brits , they seem to be able to bend their backs and thus get jobs in the agricultural industry which the british seem unfit for
