As to they work the world over... Well in London (not the UK as a whole) they'd move around a bit:

Do:
1. Ignore the existence of everybody on public transport.
2. Be polite if spoken to, but imagine they're either mad or after your money.
3. Be in a hurry.

Don't:
1. Show too much interest, or they'll think you fancy them or want a fight.
2. Be over friendly, or they'll think you're either mad or after their money.
3. Be loud, or they'll think you're mad/drugged/drunk or from the US.
Is this list for the UK or Mexico??? If you are refering to mexico I hope your joking? I talk to everyone and everyone when I am there. But usually they speak english to me and then I respond in spanish. Never gotten into any trouble nor have I had anyone take money from me, or given it to anyone.
