Who remembers the Internet cafe stereotype?

[hydrogen]

It was a stereotype that Somali people owned internet cafes but it seems now, that stereotype has been replaced with minicab driving

I haven't heard anyone associate Internet cafe with Somalis for about two years now but I think that's because most of them have closed down

Minicab driving and internet hot-spots are somali stereotypes, also the setting up of telephone cubicles within the internet cafe's, there's a cafe not far from my place in the same building where they do money transferring.

Dude it hasn't, there's 6 internet cafe's in Haringey, wood green and several in my area too. Just because you haven't seen much doesn't mean it faded away...

Those cubicle calls used to be very popular, nowadays everyone has connections in their homes so that's practically died down.

I remember going to Finsbury park the streets were lined with Somali words and Somali telephone companies as shop titles
