I think you'll find we're about the same as the Americans, if not even more cautious about getting close. Except on the Tube, and even then correct form is to pretend the person with their nose in your armpit isn't really there.

In my experience Americans have a smaller personal space and are way more touchy-feely than Brits.

really pale blue eyes
