I have a neighbour whom I often meet when I am going to the shop and he is walking his dogs.
His standard greeting is "Good morning, my friend". To which I reply "How are you, Ian?"
I have usually thought that he has failed to remember my name; I do not see any other significance.
He works for Camden Council - perhaps it is a North London thing ?
