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

Don’t we all shrink as we get older.

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.

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)

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

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!

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

Apparently GG they shouldn’t have any children/ marital relations/ because they aren’t tall enough, and they shouldn’t be in Downing St because they are only average height.
Some posters should take more water with it?

Well I am not taking water, I am singing and dancing my heart (still Dirty Dancing) out whilst stirring my curry with one hand and a vino in the other…

I assume you are of a rather older generation than the current Mrs Johnson though GrannyGravy13. People are much taller now. I'm 5' 4" and am the smallest in my family by quite a long chalk. Who would want the King and Queen of Downing Street to be average?

I fail to see what the height of the PM of the U.K. has on their ability to govern/lead.
(I would Google previous PM’s heights, but honestly I cannot be bothered)

lemongrove Sat 31-Jul-21 19:01:14

This thread is getting stranger and stranger.?

Perhaps you could write to your MP and suggest having a codicil put in the job description of PM no sexual relations whilst you are PM !!!

lemongrove Sat 31-Jul-21 18:55:12

Tony Blair managed to do both things....they have a mother and nanny after all.

I wish them all the very best, and hope all goes well with the baby after her miscarriage.

Why are people so unpleasant? If some of the above nasty comments had been made about Harry and Meghan, I can imagine the reactions from certain posters, but it seems that "anything goes" with Boris.

BlueBelle Sat 31-Jul-21 18:48:43

Well at least the babies will understand him err, umm, ohhh arrr

Cheers ????
