I stayed in Stamford Hill at the weekend. Was rather bizarre walking to the station and being engulfed by a large group of Hasidic Jews all chanting and wearing hats (shtreimels I believe they are called) that looked like a fur version of the round liquorice allsorts. All seemed to be having fun though
I don't dislike them at all, then again I don't know any.
I would often see them on a saturday after they have been to their synagogue or whatever in Terenure. A funny bunch I must say, look like they are stuck in some bizarre time warp almost. Not the completely mad blokes you see around North London now.
Good luck to them all the same.
