..anyone else noticed how many Turkish barbers have sprung up recently (3 or 4 in my town) and also Turkish grill houses? As the Bangladeshi Indians are moving out they are moving in, again at least 5 such restaurants around here...

.. I have noticed this in Germany and Holland in recent years but now here too.

They've been running all the kebab shops for at least the last 40 years

I think they are mostly from Kurdistan. At least they are in M33 area.

immigration scam. they come in as student hair dressers.
a small village by me now has 3 of them. no way are they turning a profit.
the kebab shop also has 6 adults working in it, but rarely any customers.
totally legit and above board of course Rolling Eyes

The Military Type (consort) alleges to have a lot of Turkish background, although he's British through and through.

Since he's been round my gaff several times, he's taken up conversations with four different people, only one of whom I knew was an Actual Turk: Mr Mehmet at Eastenders Kebab.

Shocked

Happily once he told a man in a shop that he had lived in Turkey and we got given a free packet of baklava, om nom nom nom - along with a considerable amount of forelock tugging Laughing

The Ottoman Empire was never properly killed off by the British.

Organised crime isn't as secret a matter as people seem to think it is. It's at the top level of government, and goes right down to your local homelessness charity outfit. This is all an adaptation to conditions that have been created by policy decisions here. Anyway, it should be obvious that a barbers, a kebab shop, a mobile phone repair shop serve a purpose. I, for one, am not going to be stuck in yesteryear, in my head. Not in my head. I keep my affinity for how things used to be, by enjoying old movies. If I didn't, I would be stuck making useless and disbelieved remarks in the local rag's comment section. But this is 2023 and that's where I want my head to be. For self-preservation (basic sanity), if nothing else. There are no good guys. There is only Darwin.

At this point, all it would take is for someone (doesn't matter who, or where they're from) to start manufacturing meth and/or fentanyl, to knock this country over with a feather.

There's a whiff of MDF-esque angst in this thread.

Just sayin'.

Yep, opiates are heavily prescribed as a pain killer in the states (that's how George Floyd got addicted) whereas in the UK opiates tend to be used only in clinical environments and as palative end of life treatment.
