    I really do not feel this has been properly thought through.

    And it's not terribly British, is it? This whole touchy-feely thing might be all right for the colonials but it still feels a little, well, 'dirty' [ref. recent frotter discussions]. Can't we just smile politely or nod and look away quickly? Perhaps with a small comment on the weather? A hug feels like quite a serious commitment.
