How To Offer A Draw

I WAS offered eight draws in my five games in the U2200 section of the 71st Hampstead weekend congress.
Only one player - Stephen Prior (2075 Fide/190 ECF) - managed to (almost) make his offer in the prescribed manner, which is:
1. Make your move.
2. Say words to the effect of: "Would you like a draw?"
3. Press the clock.
4. Write the move on your scoresheet and follow it with '(=)'.
It really is not very difficult, but SP was the only one who came close to following procedure (and even he missed out step four).
