Is it a british thing to pass a football to strangers on the street? (lemmy.world)

We were on a trip in Scotland and walking through a somewhat shady neighbourhood. These 2 kids were walking towards us and randomly passed a football to me, expecting me to pass it back.

Is this a usual occurrence? I have never had this happen in my country but I have seen it done for videos. I'm asking about the UK specifically because I feel like you guys have an interesting street football culture. Maybe I'm wrong and this is a normal thing in lots of countries.

Second this, in fact round my way you just need to make eye contact and a nod to anyone with a footy and you're in the game.
