Franco arrived in 1976 and he says there was still a demand for teddy boy haircuts when he started here. He grew up in Alife which is in the Campania region of Italy near Naples and Monte Cassino. With a lot of new arrivals in Suffolk, mainly from Portugal and Poland, there have been suggestions that English people are still very polite, but a bit hard to make friends with. So have we changed? Franco talks to the English every day.... last updated: 21/05/2008 at 12:07 Have Your SayIs the English lip still too stiff and the emotions kept private? Or are we more open now?
The under 30s have become far more expressive with their emotions than older generations. There seems to be a theme of 'attention seeking' more these days probably in part fuelled by our binge drinking culture and obsession with celebrities, Suffolk/norfolk still retains that reservedness though.
