I went into the café in Preston Park and watched the interactions. The man behind the counter greeted a customer by saying 'Hi there, how is your day going?' and the customer said 'Hiya! Good, thanks.' and ordered a coffee. They did not touch each other.

2. Two people were playing table tennis in the park. They saw another friend walk past and shouted: 'Hey, Mark!' Then when Mark arrived, they hugged each other and said: 'alright mate?' and 'how's it going?'. They did not reply to these questions in too much detail. The answer was not important.
