I lived the biggest part of my life in the West. Rijswijk, close to Den Haag (The Hague). There they always say, morning, evening. Now I live in Friesland, there they say, Goeie (Gooddd), Frysian people say Good is the wish, the part of the day is not important. Frysian people are very kind.
@ JiggyBelle: Good afternoon, as it is 4 pm now
@ Pdevredis: Now isn't that kind, informing the people on the time of day. On the other hand, they might all wish they were still in bed. Ah, New York, another city that never sleeps (Sinatra). That's why they tell what time of day it is.
Hmmmm.... I wonder if this is the official state policy in Massachusetts, where we were just on vacation. NO one says "good" before "morning", ever! I always thought that they just liked informing me what part of the day we were in, just in case a dumb New Yorker like me thought it was the afternoon......!
Isn't it time for an afternoon nap? Last night we changed to wintertime, which means that 3 a.m. became 2 a.m. I woke up an hour earlier than usual (according to the clock) , so let's just stick to 'morning'...
