HOWDY*















Yesterday when we were walking a passerby said hello.
I didn't take much notice but The Old Girl said that it wasn't a very friendly hello.
I asked her what she meant and she said that the 'hello' was perfunctory and lacking in any real warmth.

We live in a semi-rural area where people do acknowledge others on the roadside as opposed to Auckland and I guess other cities in NZ.

Maybe the woman was recently from Auckland and hasn't yet adjusted.

I'm a big believer in greetings. The more elaborate the better. It costs nothing. If the other sounds cold at least you have given them an example to follow.

Please explain how elaborate you greet.
