I'm the reverse. Always "hello", never "hi". Also, a few months spent in the company of a foxhunt at an impressionable age have left me with the permanent habit of saying "good night" for "goodbye", even if it's half ten in the morning.

proper weirdo

Je sais quoi. It makes you sound like a character in an Enid Blyton novel.

maybe if he said "lashings of ginger beer"

I say hullo instead of hello. Gives a certain je ne sais quoi methinks.

You could always try "moshi, moshi". But I think that's for phone calls only.

I a also have difficulty saying "please" I find it a hard word that sounds and feels over assertive.

Try the Russian greeting;

Zdrastvuitye

Come on, all together.....

I do like the way it is easy to meet a greet in Russian especially with “lets introduce ourselves” is quite normal. I never get a zdrastvuitye, on the phone I get all sorts of greetings such as hullo, ‘darhm, d’ahm churs, and priviat. It's gone down-hill since the CCCP.

Do it the Danish way.
Hej - for hello
Hej hej - for goodbye
