that is all really true actually. ! I was seeig a londoner for a while and he could not beleive i would help folks with buggies up escalators etc. I lived in london when Younger. last time i went it seemed to be far more people there. maybe an age thing.Even near took a panic attack at Victoria with the amount of people they let on the tube. it is a shame as there is a lack of trust down there to even help another human being. Suffice to say when he came up here he was astonished at how everyone spoke to him,and wanted to know why he was up here etc. maybe us scots are nosey fvckers
I help ppl with suitcases and buggies etc but I don’t do conversations with strangers. My mum told me not to. :P

So true:
“Trains, buses and trams might seem natural venues to start a friendly chat. But do be careful. For many Britons, initiating conversation with strangers on public transport ranks as a breach of etiquette not far below commission of High Treason.
Take the Tube through London in rush hour, for instance, and you will see dozens of strangers packed tightly together. Though they may be intimate in terms of physical proximity, each revels in splendid isolation.
Break this code of silence and you will be greeted with embarrassed silence (interrupted, perhaps, by nervous newspaper-twitching) as all around you seek to avoid your gaze.
Not all of the UK is quite so circumspect about small talk, however. Citizens in the north of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all take pride in being more welcoming than their aloof southern neighbours.
Nonetheless, etiquette expert Simon Fanshawe strongly advises against making verbal contact with one’s fellow commuters and transgressing one of the UK’s most powerful codes of behaviour.
“My advice would be to do it with extreme caution,” he says. “If you do, expect us to be extremely gruff.
“If anybody so much as looks us in the eye, we assume they want our wallets. We’d much rather rustle behind a copy of the Daily Express.”
