My first WTF moment with British English was walking into a restaurant & the hostess asked: “are you alright?”. “Do I have a bloody nose?” I quaked. Turns out it was just how folks say “what’s up?” as a hello there.

to which she responded, "Yes of course you have a nose, but why are you cursing about it?"

It’s more just “alright mate”, or even just “reet”.
