The Downing Street hand-shake

Barack Obama and Gordon Brown walk into 10 Downing Street, where the US leader shakes the policeman's hand, but Mr Brown declines the offer.

There is nothing new here. Some British (English) are a snotty-nosed bunch. I came across this on my EU trip last year. Many think they are high and mighty. You won’t believe these people use the bathroom like every body else. I also found some resentment toward many British returnees in SVG. It appears that the British attitude has rubbed of on many, and they brought it back to their home country. My brother is right up there with them, so I know what I am talking about.
Look at the Queen’s reaction to a warm embrace by Michelle Obama. Is it any wonder Diana could not fit into this mold?
