I get a lot of tourists walk past my house and ill often sit outside while having a cuppa and say hello to them. Many of them stop for a chat it's quite nice really

I live in an English village where everyone says hello, even those who have not met before. In France it even happens in many towns, not in the UK though. We are an unfriendly lot, probably something to do with overpopulation.

I had an old man say good morning a few months ago he had a big smile on his face I was shocked I've never had that before I just looked down. It's just not done here we are weary of each other in UK especially London. When I spent a few months in Germany people were saying guten morgen all the time.

In the countryside you'd be considered an absolute cunt not to offer your well wishes to a passer by AT ANY TIME IN THE DAY.

Drowning puppies/dogs is just so disrespectful. Not to mention wasteful.

Absolutely mate. A 'good morning' in London is recieved with a well deserved "What the fuck are you after?". This also applies to NY and parts of Baltimore and DC.
It took me years to get to a stranger's salutation in my wife's ex-pit village but at least it almost prepared me for the USA.
I dont think I would ever get used to my last school where, if you sneezed, someone would always say "God. Bless. You." AND MEAN EVERY WORD!
Somethings could bring the psychopath out in a saint.

I do it when I see my next door neighbour, she fucking shits herself. Why are middle class English people so awkward?

A bloke out walking on his own, with no dog, going nowhere in particular is just odd. If you're actually not a rapist, you're asking for a Colin Stagg situation.

Weirdo. The general public are fucking cunts, so why would I want to say anything to them - let alone wish them good morning.

Having an accessory like a dog or a kid in a pushchair (usually your own) is conducive to a 'good morning' in the country. However a lone male out walking in the countryside is normally looked at like a weirdo, usually by people with dogs and kids

I remember being literally shocked when some old dear at a bus stop wished me good morning shortly after I moved up North.
Burned into my memory, that is.
So I'm guessing that people didn't greet strangers back where I came from, the Romford area.

Should one lock the eye-contact once it's established?
I often find myself in this situation:
-eye contact
-look away while getting closer
-eye contact & 'Good morning Sir'
Unfortunately I also look like a murderer so this doesn't come across as jovial at all

I like a 'Good mornin', usually around 1pm (I'm not really a morning person) while walking the dog.
As a Trilby wearer I touch the rim, rather than going for a full doff, unless its a young lady of my acquaintance. Otherwise it scares the whippet.

Get the eye contact in early without looking menacing and then good morning away to your hearts content.
Been saying it to people for years, though think it's something us dog walkers are expected to say to our fellow walkers.
I'm never miserable, so will always give a cheery response.

I said "good morning" to my next door neighbor.
He replied "no its fucking not".
I laughed.

I said good morning to a new neighbour today at about 6am.
When I say new neighbour, I obviously mean the person whose house I was burgling and who had just woken up.

First time I ever went to the US had loads of `MORNING's chucked our way... I'd always look behind me thinking they was talking to someone they knew... but no it was directed at us... after a few days I caught on... `MORNING' was replied with a `MORNING'... and so this went on for the remainder of the holiday... have to admit it felt good... as soon as I got back in blighty I decided I'd carry on `MORNING' people ... lasted a day... all I was getting back was strange scared looks...

Not the Asda loitering. That was bad timing, but the good mornings. Get plenty of that here in Eridge. Not so much in Lewes where most folk are full of their own self importance.
