A Hand Shaking Lesson to George Matthews
Next time you shake hands with a complete stranger, follow these simple rules:
1. Engage eye contact in a warm way
2. Smile (a little)as you introduce yourself
3. shake up and down twice and
4. LET GO of the recipients hand.
5. Continue chatting whilst maintaining eye contact
The below is what you should NOT do (which you did)
1. Appear from knowwhere
2. Start jabbering on like a weirdo
3. Look at the floor whilst jabbering at the recipient
4. Thrust yourhand out and then NOT let go
If the other person at any time is forced to say
" Please let go of my hand"
Then, you have I am afraid, made a very bad first impression.
Buddy, you looked like, acted like and are a weirdo.
if you see me again, my advice, turn around and walk the other way,
I will not be polite next time.
Lesson endeth.

OP, were you expecting him to ask for your address so he could send you a chrimbo card?
I'm not really interested in celebrities, but I once "met" Errol Brown (the Hot Chocolate guy who got famous again thanks to The Full Monte) in a nightclub in Mega-rough after he had sung a few songs on the stage.
We said hello as he walked past us and he shook me and my mate's hand with a huge grin on his face. We slurred at him that we'd enjoyed the show, he said thanks and then went on his way with that amazingly smile.
We were chuffed to bits and to this day it's my favourite memory of that holiday.*
I once opened the warehouse door of the Wilkinson Hardware Store I worked in to be met by Keith Chegwin who was very polite and friendly considering his career was doing so well he was doing radio adverts for a down-market retail chain. I have a habit of running into and having strange conversations with minor celebrities and not having a clue who the f
k they are at the time or that they are "famous".
Oh, and a friend of mine had to be dragged away from Roy Walker by his mates when he was a student after he decided to tell Roy he was an complete arrogant wker who thought he was better than everyone else, as he didn't want a pissed up stranger joining him and his family for a pint. 
* If I'm being honest I don't really remember much about that lad's holiday - I pretty much lost a week of my life as we were that wasted.
