Croydon is infamous....

Yep I have a mate down there, they don't seem to have worked on integration much. But this one amused me because of the neighbour, I bet you were all thinking a bulldog owning skinhead?

I would disagree about the integration. There have been news stories over the past few years of "immigrants" being beaten up in Croydon by groups of people. The groups are frequently multi-cultural.

NIMBY: Patel's paternal grandparents were born in Gujarat, India, before emigrating to Uganda, and established a shop in Kampala. In the 1960s, her parents emigrated to the UK and settled in Hertfordshire.

The easiest way to deal with this is to stop going on the Daily Mail website.

Nope. I know Croydon well. I was expecting exactly what you posted. She was lucky it was only a bin that was thrown at her!

Before online shopping really kicked off Croydon was the place where you could easily get work clothes from chain fashion retailers as Croydon residents have a unique sense of style.

Where is the fun in that.

Though they don't have good animal stories.

I've been using a lot of hire cars over the last five years to work with various clients. They are usually delivered by drivers who are recent migrants to this country and I always ask them...

1) Where do you come from and why did you leave?
2) Where have you travelled from/lived before in Europe?
3) How do you find it here?

Most have lived through Europe and found it racist towards them, are much happier here and say the British people are good and nice to them. Everyone admits that they are an economic migrant and not a refugee as such, opportunity is poor in their homeland.

Were any of them called Cotton-Eyed Joe?
