yup, pretty much say hello to people where I live. Most people are friendly, but friendlier in the village in the town it depends what kind of day everyone is having.

But on the whole yes... But I'll speak to pretty much anyone, and love talking to strangers, best place for chatting to strangers is on the bus or train. Met a lovely old lady a few weeks ago on the train, could have chattered to her for hours. She was really interesting.

(I live in South Wales)... we do the one finger wag around the country lanes by me - most people are polite except the odd few who try to bully their way around the lanes and won't budge or move over. But they are far and few apart.
