Do other people get ignored by fellow runners or is it just me?

We should meet up and run somewhere in London.I will go to London soon anyway.If You OK with that
I'm from Lincolnshire but London is big place I Know.
I think it's becuase as a whole, Londoners are proud of living in London, our capital city. So it feels good to get that city's (conurbation's) name in there.
You wouldn't want to say a random suburb out in Bromley when you can say "SE London".
Also, using Boroughs is a mixed bag as some cover such diverse areas that people could be mislead, so I think it's best to be specific, so for instance either "Southfields" or just SW "London".
Lived in Streatham for a while and my beloved Herne Hill are South Laandan. South London is salt of the Earth, normal Londoners, north Londoners are flitty and just follow fads..with their ugg boots on.
Not that I like generalisations
......and I am not an Aussie or Kiwi....
Hi everyone
just a bit to tell you that i hoped with a smile and to be friendly with other member in the forum can help me to be well accepted. but is terrible to be ignored . so i decided stop write .
good run ..

I used to live in London ( 'ackney ) - but I don't anymore I live in Bristol (Southville).
In London if you say hello, runners say hello back most of the time (doesn't happen with the people you see on your daily commute though - they'll stare at an advertisment for Anusol rather than make eye contact)
In Bristol I get ignored A LOT
Older runners are nicer, but quite a few runners between the ages of 35ish and 45ish just outright ignore me. How.Rude.
I'm going to keep waving though, one day I'll break them down!
Catoface,
I don't find Bristol runners too anti-social (but I live north of the river ;¬)). Mouse and I once conducted an experiment to see if we got more smiles/hellos if we wore our Bristol Half t-shirts. It worked. But that may be because certainly I was laughing at fixing everyone with a beady stare from about 100m away!
hi runners
i've a lot of good runners friends....runners mates .. of my team , too ... we talk, we smile , we train together and a lot of funny jokes help us when we train for a HF or M too....
to write....in the forum ..."thanks for your cortesy replay" is ... horrible , never more
good run
sunny day
stop.stop.stop
Thanks Joolska - sometimes I wear mine but it's been too darned hot recently for anything other than a vest (and shorts o'course!)
I will give the HM t-shirt an outing and tot up my hello's/waves! Perhaps I'll run past you one day - I promise to say hello! Actually the running clubs down my neck of the woods are very friendly as it happens.
Enrico - I hope you have a good run today, the weather looks good for it
