Hello together ist komplett falsch und wird m Englischen auf diese Weise nicht verwendet.
Use "Good evening all" and you'll have the older members of the audience in stitches ;-)
@ B.L.Z. Bubb: Apropos #10. Vielleicht möchtest Du hier etwas beitragen ;)
related discussion: to have someone in stitches - sich totlachen
Wenn ich Zeit hab ;-)
@Bubb: That’ll be “Evenin’ all!”
I just checked (because I thought that too), and in the vid I watched, he touched his hand to his helmet and clearly said "Good evening, all" ;-)
You and me both stumped, then. I’d have put a bet on it.
Apparently, the PC-bollix brigade has now banned coppers to use this form of greeting since it could be against the person’s national or cultural understanding of that time of day
*facepalms at the ready*
Finde sie gerade nicht aber es gabe mal eine Landkarte, die überraschend genau eingrenzen konnte woher jemand kam, aufgrund der Begrüßung, die verwendet wurde. Alles native-US-Englisch. Von "Hey guys" über "Howdy y'all" waren da zich Varianten dabei.
Ich fürchte also selbst die Muttersprachler werden dir da keine abschließende oder gar einige Antwort geben können.
#10 Brilliant!
I'd say (and write in e-mails to a group; "Hi (or hello) everyone"

Sorry, I find that really hard to believe.

##15,19 Yes, I've also found this now (though I tend not to look at the Telegraph -- I find it too annoying to be cut off because of their paywall). From what I saw online in the Mirror et al. it seems to have been the Warwickshire force, back in 2009. Ridiculous. Let's hope that was an isolated instance, and long since abandoned.
I was really looking up the catchphrase, and Wikipedia has this to say:
[Dixon] begins with a salute and the greeting "Good evening all",[6] which was changed to "Evening all" in the early 1970s, which has lived on in Britain as a jocular greeting.

I'm told that it helps to install a second browser with java script disabled, if you really feel the need to read the Telegraph.
Ta muchly, Hecuba, then laalaa and I were both right - sort of ;-)
"Evening all" has an especially funny effect when I use it, because noone expects the Spanish inquisition, and even less a German who knows Dixon ;-)
Ah, that makes sense.
My (conscious) experience of Dixon would be early-ish 70s.
*staving off senility for a lil bit longer*
#21: No, on the whole I don't feel the need! Thanks for the tip, anyway.
Um zum Thema zurückzukommen: Wer Hello together! zur Begrüßung sagt, der kann auch Greet God! sagen.
#25 - An English friend of mine who I took hiking in the Alps asked me why people were always saying "Great Scot" when we passed them.
#26 daran erkennt man die Touristen, die grüßen ned beim Wandern... und dann wunderns sich, dass man se für unhöflich hält...
Und siezen tuns auch!

I had a colleague who was British and used "hello together" as a joke greeting at our German employer's offices. He also said "Mealtime!" between 11 am and 2 pm every day. Thanks for reminding me of him! :-))
@ "Great Scot" - Ein Schüler von mir hieß Scott und behauptete, auf einer Bergtour sei er immer mit seinem Namen gegrüßt worden. Vermutlich hat er die Geschichte aber davor schon von seinen bayerischen Kollegen gehört.
Das müsste man auf Bairisch 'ß Gott für Grüß Gott schreiben.
