Touching

US dollar now quoted 9.10-9.60 hrivnia in the streets, although the official rate remains 8.35 - something wicked this way comes.....

However, here is a fine courtesy which we miss in England. My office is in a 1990s block run by a Government agency. Every morning when the lift is crowded, everyone in the cabin (whether known to each other or not) shakes hands with every occupant and says 'Good morning'; that is, to be accurate, all the men do so - there is clearly some subtle sexism underlying this. If you tried to do this in a lift in England, you would probably be carted off for assault.
