Why Do British Say You Alright?
They don't know if you're having a bad day or not. And they don't care, either (harsh I know). It's just the British way of saying hello. When a Brit asks, “You alright?”, the best response is always, “Yeah, great thanks.

How do you respond to you're alright?

You can respond either by saying 'yeah/yes', 'yeah/yes, I'm all right/fine', 'yes/yeah, you all right?' or with another greeting, 'hello/hi' or quite commonly just by saying 'all right' yourself.

Are you alright mate?

Are you alright mate? is a half-day workshop looking at men's emotional health which will explore ways that we, as a society, can encourage an open conversation about men's mental health and spread the message that it is ok for men to not be ok.
