Yeah it’s originally Christmas thing with the horse, there’s accounts of people dressing up as representatives of the dead on the 1st day of winter for calan gaeaf or samhain etc - its all originated from the same type of tradition of “dress up and annoy your neighbours because the season’s changing”

Haven’t read the full thread but what about “Hey!” I remember watching Friends and thinking it was a strange way to greet someone. That could just be me though.

You’re thinking of coffee shops

Yeah, we probably adopted that in the last twenty years.

Same with hugging. I think Friends basically brought hugging to the UK.

Outside of close families no one hugged friends before the mid 90s

Haha! Yes, I totally agree to be honest. I did not hug people when greeting them until 10 years ago.
