I live in a small town in Northern england.
Most of the people that walk past are my neighbours. Maybe not immediate neighbours, but still neighbours.

I fail to see how saying 'Morning' to someone is being annoying. I don't particularly want to chat to them, or have a long conversation, but it's still nice to say "hi" to people that you live near.

I just think it's sad that in today's society someone who lives 4 doors away from you completely ignores you when you say hello to them.

The one thing that I've noticed is that you often get a reply or even a conversation out of people that you would normally take one look at and go "chavvy wanker" (now there's my prejudice showing through). Old people too - they seem a lot more friendly than most.

Mind you, perhaps I am odd. I even take time out of my day to speak to Jehovas Witnesses. Makes a change from telling them to fuck off.
