On my most recent trip to England, I noticed that everyone kept asking me "are you alright?". I don't recall being asked this question so commonly on previous trips. At first I kept thinking do I look like something is wrong with me like I'm jetlagged or ill? Then I realized it was just another way of saying "how are you?". In America we would not ask a question like that unless you thought that everything wasn't all right so I found it to be slightly irritating.

Whereabouts in England was that? I visit England regularly and I can't say I've encountered that as a normal thing.
