    It is amazing how many Turkish people live in the area to support all those barbers.

    What's the issue?

    They aren't an issue - that's what I'm saying. Just wondering why the OP was complaining. I'd rather see a thriving business than a boarded up empty shop.

    I would say the question is How many barbers are prepared to set-up shop in face of the competition? Who’d a thought so many Coffee shops doing well in Tarn?

    Don't forget coffee shops, eateries, pubs, market stalls and shops. A lot more of each of those than takeaways, bookies and barbers

    My little town needs more vaping shops. There's just not as many as other towns.

    My only issue is that there must be a lot of Turkish people about otherwise the Turkish barbers would find it difficult to make a living.

    I was trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny.

    I have read that the barbers are used to train successful asylum seekers so that they can have a job and support themselves. Whether that is correct or just an urban myth is another question...

    I believe they cut the hair of non Turkish people too.
