Good news!

Fabulous thread!

I wish them well, what a strange thread this is turning into, bringing height issues into this.

Nobody puts shortarse in the corner!

As you know how short I am is that an insult MissA

Small, but perfectly formed.
Seriously, I didn't notice.

No problem x

Don't think even his most fervent supporters would call Johnson 'perfectly formed' ?!?

Wish them luck, but I'd say I'd rather he concentrated on the job in hand, right now!

Well, I am 2 inches taller than you and 3ft wider

They are average for their ages for UK citizens, not newsworthy in that respect.
Boris is short in comparison with the last few male PMs, and Carrie compared with Teresa May though - I googled it. Not sure why Margaret Thatcher’s weight is recorded as it is - the
.4 of an inch must have been important to her.
Theresa May: 5′8″ (172cm)
David Cameron: 6′1″ (185cm)
Gordon Brown: 5′11″ (180cm)
Tony Blair: 6″ (183cm)
John Major: 6″ (183cm)
Margaret Thatcher: 5′5.4″ (166cm)

But there are threads and threads of nasty comments about Meghan and Harry sparklefizz
I just think he should stop making babies and concentrate on being a prime minister

I don't suppose it took him long.

Don’t we all shrink as we get older.

Yes.
I wonder what boris will be like as a blond man in his 60s?

I don't recall anyone making unpleasant comments about Harry's and Meghan's looks and their babies.

It's unpleasant in my view.

Oops premature posting…

I am 5’2” so I do not consider the Johnsons to be short, more like average height.

I'm really concerned now

I'm sure I used to be 5'5" but DGD1 has overtaken me and she is 5'3 and a half, apparently.
Probably 5'4" next time I see her, she seems to be growing exponentially at the moment.

he is 5ft 8, that is quite small for a blonde man in his 50s

So would it be considered average for a dark-haired, red-haired or bald man in his 50s?

Is it only blond men who are supposed to be tall?

Whatever happened to tall, dark and handsome?
Oh, just realised, he's greyish, balding and shrunk a bit.
Dear DH!
And asleep

JaneJudge

It's a shame they are both so short

Why?

Is it a problem that our PM and his wife are not 6 footers?

JaneJudge

Yes, all my fruit pairing children are blonde, blue eyed and over 6ft 4

It's really odd, we have produced tall children, one redhead, one dark and one blonde.

My brother blamed the milkman.

whilst preparing a Thai green curry from scratch…
I am very impressed GrannyGravy!

Well, if this baby is Boris’ seventh or eighth child, he’s obviously not short in departments where it matters.

A veritable pocket rocket.

I blame you, Calendargirl

Calistemon one of our very good friends is Thai, her recipes are brilliant, easy to follow and idiot proof according to AC

Didn't Boris tell a police dog hander this week that Dilyn couldn't control his "romantic urges"?
Apparently, he has just had Dilyn castrated.

hander = handler oops!
