Englishmen are rather original in gesticulation. They seldom offer a hand when they meet, giving a light nod instead. Giving a hug in England is absolutely uncustomary. If an Englishman blinks all the time while talking to you - it means that you are being attentively listened to. Some most frequently occurring gestures in the British culture are:
• By tapping the wing of a nose with an index finger a Briton gives to understand, that the information he is imparting is not to be let out.
• The gesture meaning "still I am right", "the last word will be mine" looks as the capital letter "L".
• To attract the attention of an interlocutor an Englishman can clap his hands. It is considered permissible to hold a cigarette in one's mouth while talking to an interlocutor.
• The students of colleges and universities express their willingness to answer the lecturer's question by raising an index finger of the right hand.
