MH....well, I suppose you are right ......it could happen especially as the residents of the street are now mainly pensioners with just a few young families.....but the point I was trying to get across was that a community that has been together for such a long time (as we have....there are some people who have lived in this street for nearly 80 years) is almost bound to have a strong family feel to it.
Muslim communities must be the same.
And I think when the English migrate to other countries they tend to congregate where other english folk are because we are very bad at learning languages and want to be with people we can converse with.
If you go to English speaking countries like the USA and Australia I think the English integrate better...because of the commonality of the language......(although there maybe someone out there who knows different).
