    I’ve lived in London half my life and I’d still ask you if you’re ok and offer you a bro hug. Now, if you’re a lass that’s a different dynamic and I’d probably just ask if you’re ok.

    Not born a Londoner, but also don’t give a toss about being perceived as weird for being friendly.

      That might be a bit awkward given I’m a woman!

      It’s tricky, because I would feel worse if anyone asked if I was okay. I’m very much an introvert and would just reply with I’m fine, or just pretend to not have heard you. But other people might appreciate the offer of a tissue and a chat.
