Sometimes I see Cheers as hello and other times I'm pretty sure it means goodbye.

What is it?

Depends on if you're coming or going.

UK-ers never say 'cheers' as 'hello', (at least, I've never heard it), but sometimes 'goodbye', but it really means 'thanks'..or 'good health'..we can't make our minds up..or can we..

That's true and exactly right (at least the way I've understood it)...........but, Bapu was asking how "he saw it"....

The usage of cheers probably breaks down to this:

60% - thank you
30% - thank you (sarcastic)
9% - please bang the edge of your glass against mine
1% - Americans using it inappropriately

60% - thank you
30% -a letter signoff-much cheerier than "Regards"
9% - please bang the edge of your glass against mine
1% - Americans using it inappropriately
