Good morning
For the people who live in the part of the world I come from, it is usual to greet someone (upon seeing him for the first time that morning) "good morning". When we leave his company, we say, "good day", "good bye", "see you", etc. But we do not say "good morning" again, for instance, when the time of our departure is still morning.
What about in the UK and the US? (I am curious because I have seen in some old English movies and books, they say "good morning" when they part company anytime before noon.)
Could someone help me?
