    Wow, they are lucky. Dh's dad is about five feet tall, and his mother tiny, so we thought dh did well to reach five seven or eight ish. He is a giant in his family and in italy. :D.

    That's the same in DH's family too. Except now I'm the family giant, not DH! Even DH's two sisters have husbands shorter than me. Christmas is like Lilliput :)

    DS is well on the way to overtaking most of them. At 11, he's as big as his granny now.

    Yeah, avoid the black country if possible I don't know if Hagley is technically inside but it's close enough and if you take a wrong turn you'll end up in Kidderminster :vomit smiley:

    The accent is like a plague of locusts. Still comes out a bit when I'm pished unfortunately.

    Yeah, Hagley is the posh bit of the Black Country. Everyone I know there is Black Country done good. My friends had a lovely house there, proper chocolate box, silly money, hence that semi looks a good deal from here!

    Hahaha, i know that feeling. I am taller than all inlaws, it should make one feel gazelle like, but instead makes me feel like king kong.

    Mr Spirit is 6'3 and me 5' and 1/2inch.

    I have a very tall female friend whose comment on your situation would be "waste of a tall man!"

    Hello :wave:

    Doesn't he just? I think he's far too self depricating; we're very fond of him. I was considering stalking him, but luckily didn't have to!

    Come and play :)
