How to greet someone english etiquette
British people are quite reserved when greeting one another.
Greeting can be a bright 'Hello' 'Hi' or 'Good morning', when you arrive at work
or at school.

The Kiss
• Do not greet people with a kiss:
• We only kiss people who are close friends and relatives.
• It is only when you meet friends, whom you haven't seen for a long time, that you would kiss the cheek of the opposite sex.
• In Britain one kiss is generally enough.

• The usual formal greeting is a 'How do you do?' and a firm handshake, but with a lighter touch between men and women.
• How do you do?
is a greeting not a question and the correct response is to repeat ‘How do you do?'
You say this when shaking hands with someone.
