A bit like slapping them on the back.
Usually, a smile and nod does the trick.

Bored, Manchester.

See, this seems really odd to me. My parents actually taught me that when your in a situation where you're meeting someone new, especially someone older, you should shake their hand. And it's very common place in business, among men and women alike.

Maybe my momma really didn't raise me right...
