Should we end this custom?
Only if you are asked to shake hands with a Socialist/Marxsist!
I only shake hands because I'll look like a dickhead if I don't. I have no desire for it in the first place. I'd be very content with a hello and a simple head nod. Cultural rules can be so restrictive and suffacating.
(Nods head to Biosphere).
Not totally end it, but perhaps for the time being refrain from doing such.
