[@uws5604]

It is a visual reminder of a DIFFERENT society, not a declining one. The Internet has caused this change by supplying products directly to buyers and cutting out the physical middlemen (other than those which double up as parcel collection points). And foreign food markets are serving a need for our diverse communities, which is surely a good thing.

As a Brit who spends most of the time living in Türkiye, I often use authentic barbers over there. They are usually elderly, very experienced gentlemen who give you the best haircut and facial. That is, provided you can speak enough of the language to be understood. However, when I've used "Turkish Barbers" in the UK, I've found them to be young and usually Kurdish from Iran or Iraq. They don't give the same experience as the genuine article and certainly nothing better than a trained British barber.
