There was something on Pravda about this.

I personally think it's a disgusting practice, mainly be Western European/American men, but that's just me.

I wish these programmes wouldn't keep repeating the story .... and would crack on and cover more than just 2 people's stories.

My mother, one sister and I are all 6 - 6 1/2, depending on shape and make, and my other sister is 5.

DD is 7, OH is 5 and I'm 9.

I have managed to replace my stupid lost iPhone with the latest iPhone. It appears to be exactly the same except it can take panorama photos without requiring a dedicated app.

I had a go at that on holiday. It's handy for seeing the puppies on the beach. Unfortunatly it distorts your [STRIKE]feet[/STRIKE] "puppies" up if you don't do it quite right...

I have watched a few of the programmes in that series. It is interesting- most of the 'children' on it were adopted in the 60s and 70s when a single mother simply couldn't afford to bring up a child, or if they were still living at home their dad told them to have the kid adopted or get out of the house.

No such dilemmas these days...

I'm getting a d!jà vu, I've told the story of the adopted cousin meeting his birth mother I think. She was one of the 1960s' can't bring him up alone mothers.

My mother was a single parent in uk then. Arrived with a husband and then ended up having to be the sole provider. It was possible. I doubt it was easy, particularly for less strong willed people, with less education and closer to home.

Re nationality .... I'd have no idea. I can tell most colours of people, but wouldn't know how colours equate to countries beyond the bare basics.

I can just about get the continent right, on a good day...

My mother, my sister and I are all 6 1/2. Mother has narrower feet, so we have been banned from stretching her shoes.

OH, DS1 and DS2 are 9.5, 9 and 10. So can sometimes share depending on fit.

Feet are weird.

DH and my dad are both size nine. Dad is way taller than DH though. DH has awful feet. Like a hobbit's feet.

...blokes were just ordinary but most of the womene (and kids) were just very attractive.

Quite a bit of posh UK, tall and slim, dark hair, slender but muscly men.
