So for those on my flist who are in the know--who says 'cheers' and who says 'ta' when they want to express gratitude? Is it a social distinction? A regional difference?
I always understood that "cheers" was when you take your leave of your good mate, and "ta" is when your good mate does something wonderful and you take your leave of them.
