Do you say hello to random people on street?

So your walking down the street on way to supermarket or wherever and your eyes meet with a random person so you say hi. Does anyone else greet random strangers when they make eye contact and would you reply if they smiled or said hello to you?

I do, and even ask them "how's it going".

Seems only to be an Irish thing.

I naturally did it in London a few times and got very strange looks. One guy even slowed down to tell me how his day was going!

pffft,england is bigger than one town sonnyjim.:P
have experienced very friendly locals in other southern..ish areas such as croma in norfolk and norwich havent been anywhere else remotely past the north west],plus its a old tradition in "the north",certainly still part and parcel of living in cheshire-people are not afraid to come up to us here when we look and behave vastly different,same with many people in manchester to providing it isnt chavs; only get disabilist abuse off them,anything to project and take away the pain of their own flaws.
