Mate (UK)
Hello,
I think "mate" is very Australian. But I heard a waiter called a customer "mate" in British TV series. How is it popular in the UK? Thanks!

It is common in the UK among certain sections of the population. It is a relatively low-register form of address. It wouldn't be a typical way for a waiter to address a customer.
