It is used in British English, particularly in Northern England (especially Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Manchester), to say hello in a friendly, informal way, similar to "hey up" or "alright?" People typically say "Now then, mate" or "Now then, how are you?" The term originated in Northern English dialect, possibly as a shortened version of "now then, what's happening?" and remains a strong regional marker of the North of England.
