American culture allows you folks to talk to each other, though.

Growing up British means that I literally can't talk to a stranger unless I'm in a pub and have two pints inside me.

There's a loophole. All dog owners are allowed to strike up conversations with other dog owners about their dogs.

That's only if you like dogs, I guess.
