Why no!!!! I think it's a ploy to get out of decorating duties. He still gets up there when the Air Show is on, to get a good view

It must be something they put in the water round here to keep everyone stunted. I do prefer a longer length....

Oh yes, and as you can imagine, September on Newquay beach, that was quite a site to see.

Unless you are referring to the one I posted on here last year (in which case ignore the last bit)...... I think I managed to delete that before anyone saw it.

With that dress and my legs I could go to a fancy dress party as I feather duster.

There is some interesting gear on there, but it's not really school run, or a pint down the pub type of clothing.

The real reason is that the average size or close to it is worn by the masses hence a lot of average size jeans get made. Freaks are few & far between thus not many long legged jeans get made or are required - simple supply & demand. You get me.

In fact if I were 2'' taller I wouldn't be buying clothes at any high street store.

My missus is so short she needs a step to reach the bottom shelf in the supermarket

However, she claims she can save a fortune by being able to buy kids trainers.
