That is absolutely fine.I prefer the informal and friendly 'No worries.'
Reminds me of a bumper sticker a friend brought back from Oz years ago which said “no wucking furries”That is absolutely fine.
If you are Australian.
I had a 6 month spell as a salesman in a Volvo dealership. Hated the job but the training was very good.Our reasoning was that. “ can I help ?” invited the reply “ no thank you “ from the waverers. We just tried gently to have a conversation with them which often resulted in a sale we would not otherwise have got.
Certainty inflation. I’m 120% sure it used to be 101%.
You're not the first to say that to me, and I'm stupidly confident you won't be the last.Ah, you are at the summit of Mt Stupid and soon to plummet into the Valley of Despair.

A friend of a friend (he plays lead guitar in Dan's band) is called Carl, he went through the Carlosfandango nickname but is currently known as 'Fanny'.Ummm...why would anyone?!
Mr Carlfandango
Does anybody else find this expression irritating? It's very popular with younger folk and it irritates me because I think it's a tiny bit insulting. What it says to me is: "It might have been a problem but actually I managed to get it done for you anyway."
What's wrong with "My pleasure" or "You're welcome"?
Or should I just open another bottle and chill?
But without 'older folk' getting all lathered up at these craven neoligisms the 'younger folk' would have nothing to annoy them with right ??
Or as my dad used to say when we were younger - "We've got to give you something to kick against"
But being an absent-minded professorial type, he would then wander off, having forgotten to supply the goods required for rebellion.
Just out of interest, when is the current age range for younger / older??
I fear I may have drifted across this Rubicon, with rather too little fanfare
I think the rubicon is Me! I have recently decided that up to and including Me is young and every other bugger post-Me is old. So, I guess you haven't really crossed the rubicon yet.
Ahem..
It's 'madam' to you,
we'll have less of such familiarity.
Standards dear boy, standards.
If I get annoyed with being overly 'Loved' by unreconstructed guys I might sometimes return with 'Petal'
'Sweet-cheeks'
or a 'Darling' or two of my own.
Either in my best Celia Johnson, or channelling Sid James..
Depending on mood.
Once we're north of the Pennines however they can love and pet me all they like, as I can do it right back.
But he's a liar....Worked in the local chippy didn't he.
