No. Hullo, or hello.. or even 'ello, wouldnt convey the same sort of *hi,
good neighbor, want to share a cuppa?* kind of feeling. Hello is a greeting
for an aquaintance. Cooooie! is the way you greet a friend. In real life we
wouldnt even mind shouting "coooie' even if we were still in our nighties.

Heehee... yes'm.
I have had people try to explain things to me and my mind just wont
grab
hold of their words and make sense of it, then a second person
explains
the
same thing to me and voila! A little lightbulb goes on.
The only problem I have, Pat on the Hill, is when you drop your H's.
;-)
Im
adapting tho. The term Coooie! now means something to me. (scones
and
clotted cream while I chat)
Heck, I just wanted an excuse to use that phrase.. grist for the
mill.
LOL
