Which aspect?

@oldFloyd Just about all of them of course. Mind you we do make a good cup of tea.

@Fernapple I'm partial to Twinings Earl Grey, well before Piccard, but thats like 300 years from now.

..some of us are too literal It’s a greeting around me, too; one I’m working hard to respond to with far less detail..

@Varn Well, we , the 'older Aussies, are somewhat known for being what others may call outspoken, forthright, open and also having a sense of humour that others fail to grasp/understand.
Those are things that are resultant from the Aussie Ideology of what we call Mateship.

@Triphid

When strangers or clerks ask, "How are you?" I reply "Happy!"

People love it.

@LiterateHiker Yet here in Australia when asked something similar we often answer with " Not too bad for an old Bloke/Sheila, etc, etc."
Another greeting here is, "How're going?" to which the usually response here is " Ah, one leg after the other, how about you?"

@Triphid We’re likely too diverse and competitive in the US.. I’ve come to consider such a greeting as a way for them to put dumbos like me off balance … sizing us up as we attempt to foolishly answer their cold blooded incenserity with a grin.

Sounds like ‘the British’ in you with regard to being outright & open. One of my favorite friends is the same, and ‘English.’ What a refreshing time we’ll have!

@Varn Oooh, are you trying to 'insult' a True Blue Aussie by referring to him as being somewhat 'british."
Dem could be fightin' words here...LOL.
For the most part, We, the Old-timer Aussies, threw off the Pommie shackles decades ago and we consider ourselves as being 110% Aussies through and through.
Our somewhat 'odd ways' as others seem to see them were born from the days when most of our predecessors were shipped in chains as "Unwanted Garbage from Loving Mother England," they became resentful, often angry, determined, above all else, to create and foster an New Australian Persona which included a very deep and meaning fully version of Unity and Friendship which we know as 'Aussie Mate-ship,' a very strong and lasting bond that is NOT easily broken even though the Hobs and Nobs who still desire to hide behind the skirts of Mother England try and try to destroy but never truly succeed.
Mayhap, the few 'decent Yanks left amongst you could learn a bit from us True Blue Aussie?

@Triphid That’s great, and rich! I get it. My English buddy’d love to drink to all that! Sounds like you both have a bold, refreshing way of telling it like it is. Love it. Over here, people are so fake you wanna puke.. Hollywood fake.

Funny, though, my ol’ bud did rib me about moving to Virginia, that ‘it’ had been yet another penal colony for ‘the crown.’ And, the fact he’s now living in the USA likely tells what he really thinks of Mother England

Seems the closest I’ll ever get to OZ is my fond TV memory of ‘A Town Like Alice,’ from a long ways back now.. When I’d looked into immigrating to Australia prior to heading across my nation, your government at the time was further right, or wrong than mine.. And, with seemingly insurmountable entry requirements, much like ‘over here,’ or about anywhere now days.

Glad you’ve pride in your nation, I’ve lost mine for ‘over here’

@Varn Imo, our Governments, LNP and Labor, have been 'way up a wattle' for decades (btw way up a wattle is nicer way of putting that they've been Up Shit Creek ).
If they aren't muck raking at each other, Party-wise, then they're fighting amongst themselves, suck arse to every Knob and Hob around the world, as we saw with 'Auntie ScumMo Morrison doing with tRump), sinking their porcine snouts into the Public Purse or running around like headless chickens.
Personally I doubt if any of them could organise a Free Root in an Whorehouse these days.
The BEST Government Australia EVERY had was the Labor Government under Gough Whitlam.
Proud of the REAL Australian Peoples YES, of the way the nation is being governed NO, definitely NO.

@Marcie1974

Exactly. Well said.

WHen people say they are an open book, what they mean is "The pages are empty." Move on......

@Mitch07102 I will sometimes say that in person because I tend to over share...but I don’t have it on a dating profile

WHy just 1K?

I'd go for an electric Jaguar XKE. Just saying.

Then get arrested for slolicitation

Fun to string some along, always try to get them off script.

@Canndue That IS my favourite 'sport' when it comes to those annoying Tele-marketers and the like.

Does anybody know if he is a native born Londoner or is he somebody who lives and works there? Perhaps he is not an Englishman?

@WayneDalton

Thank you, Wayne.

@BudFrank

Good points. Thank you. Happy New Year!

@LiterateHiker happy new year!

@Varn

What does "r/s" mean?

Men still reach out to me. I don't have to initiate the first move.

@LiterateHiker ‘Relationship’ You’re too good at tempting

Maybe - if they know how to say something, and are in the same country ...

You are a cynic, like me

@Canndue Ahahaha
