I have noticed the change in people too. When I came to this country 15 years ago, there weren't many Filipinos around then and everyone wants to get to know each other and say hello if they recognise that they are also Filipinos. Now that there are a lot of Filipinos around with nurses coming to the UK, that has gone. I guess people are just becoming wary of others as I know what its like being too involved in the community... lots of backstabbing, gossips and show offs which are just pathetic. The most genuine people are usually the ones that have been here for a long time... but this is just my experience.
