i dont think the number is accurate, but it does emphasise the EU somali influx.

Somali population in midlands is significant and more importantly Extremely visible, but you right if you mean Scutlen

Is it true that in the UK you guys have old somali folks like 40 years and up who are born and bred in the UK? :|

Somali people over 25 who were born/raised here in my country are quite rare, but in the UK this is more common or is it also quite rare?

40?
I know 60+ somalis born & bred here, but they are mostly from coastal cities.

Somalis have been in the UK since 1930.

Anywho, London is full of Somalis hands down! Everywhere I go I see them, hear them, and run from them (okay last bit was a lie)

Big cities such as, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and etc also have substantial Somali population. I saw quite a few in Liverpool, nice city.

Viva Britain. :rose:

We can end this now dear, when did you come? And I'll reveal when I came. As a matter of fact, I came before loads of other Snetters. Seen as your not even ORIGINALLY from the UK, but another European country. You've failed already, dear! :D
