As an Englishman myself I have never understood the level of reservedness, paranoia, and fear of social contact that people mess with in their own heads. I think it is best exemplified by "Mark Corrigan" in Peep Show.
This article covers it well and there is even a reference to Douglas Adams' "The Meaning of Liff" which is a rather splendid book to keep adjacent to the toilet...
