@CrazyMusicLover of course it takes time to develop a good bond, but it isn't really good to take so long. Not smiling at someone and being what we call grouchy in shops is not a good trait, in my opinion.

@samueltyler2 Oh but the fake professional smile is something else. It's true that it's relatively new here but I noticed it in past 10 years. I think younger generations already picked it so you can see it in various businesses. Not everywhere but it's definitely more common to have a pleasant staff than it was 15-20 years ago. But randomly smiling at strangers can be misinterpreted very easily. It's mostly reserved for people you know so then they might think you know each other and they can't remember who you are or that you mistook them for someone else.

@CrazyMusicLover the fakes are usually easy to pick out.

@Thevy29 Fosters and beer don't belong in the same sentence.

@Hireath Still, millions of people appear to survive.

@Hireath from an American perspective, I visited solo in October for about 5 days. I came away with the impression of London being the safest place I had traveled to all year.

@CassandraSissy I would love to see a conversation between a sarcastic Brit and a fake nice Southern lady.

@LordShadowfire Ooooh! That would be a thing, wouldn't it, sweetie?!? 🤣
