I’m a bit of an insomniac and yesterday had an headache, slept a few hours in the day, result awake until 7am!! Was up at about 10am this morning, so I might be a bit grumpy today :-)
Everything you say above Sarah is spot on, because we have such an open and free culture (free compared to many other parts of the world) when immigrants settle here they like and embrace many aspects of British culture (what’s not to like? :-)).
Look at how arranged marriages are not encouraged in Britain, yes 1st generation immigrants from countries where arranged marriages are still common place still stick to their traditions, but their children and their children’s children who are no less British than I am reject this tradition.
A few die hard traditionalists will always try to force their ways on their 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation… family members, but it’s a minority that accept it and instead the majority embrace our more tolerant, easy going culture.
Basically it’s the immigrants culture that gets watered down, not ours. At the same time as a multicultural society we take some of the better parts of other cultures and add it to our own.
I admire for example how Pakistanis have come to Britain with barely a penny and by working hard setup corner shops and other small businesses, buy a home and as a family work together for the good of their family. I can only hope my children work so well together as adults helping one another’s children through University, buying their first homes etc…
