I've met a lot of people like that over the past 10 years when I was down working in London. So much joy and generosity from complete strangers when you are in their houses fixing their TVs.
Moved back to Scotland and was instantly reminded that it's basically only family(the older ones) that make a fuss over you when you visit.
It's very strange, same as cuddling or a peck in the cheek when you meet friends of the opposite sex. Scotlands so uptight, but down london it just comes naturally to greet someone with a hug and sometimes a peck on the cheek.
I do miss that, I must admit.
