I can recall there was a time when men shook hands, not bumped fists, or chests, or high fived as though they're white Americans pretending to be "Ghetto".

But then I can recall a time when "Halloween" was something that people did in an other Country, a bit like running the bulls - someone else's quaint little custom.

I suppose times change, for better or worse.

I recall a time when a woman didn't shake hands like she was Rambo too.  (Happened to me a couple of weeks ago now.)  

If that is deemed equality in a former Man's Realm, she can keep her "Nice to meet you".   No man ever, ever shook my hand that strongly.

And .........etiquette used to be...... only shake a woman's hand if she proffers it.

We do seem to duplicate Americanisms here

Eventually.hope that is not an indication of our

Economic situation in a few years

And there was a time where a woman who trod the boards, so to speak, or played a role in a movie was called an Actress.

I wonder what happened to them? It seems sexist, in my mind, that they were pushed aside in favour of actors...

What do they call it? Coca-cola-nisation? Or is that "nization"? 

I love it when a man a total

Stranger, kisses the back of 

Your hand in greeting,

Like you've just met

Lawrence Olivier lol

And a wink when your

Out and about from a stranger

Is a really nice gesture 

Just as long as its not a sleazy wink

If you know what I mean

Edited:  Had a rethink, and decided not to share those brown eyes, and a grain of sand irritating them.

The wild colaonial boys

It was slim pickins to find a photo to go with that...

I think the Dahlings thought that equality "on the boards" would mean equality of pay cheque.
