Is anyone as tall as Churchill?

Reputation say's he is 6'6", I am 199cm which is 6.5 and a bit so will be a close call if I put my Cuban Heels on

Is anyone as tall as Churchill?

Based on the last time I met him, I'd say not.

Does a Napoleon complex come with that?

For a prawn that's pretty massive.

[I just need to test it]

In half a century of plodding around this planet trying not to hit my head on stuff I generally find the blokes I encounter who are a PITA are usually below 5' 8".

So most of you seem alright to me.

well the majority on this thread seem to be over 6 foot.

The research, by economic historian Tim Hatton, found that the typical young man in Britain today is 5ft 10in. This compares with just 5ft 6in a century ago.

so at least most of us are above average at something.

I can never remember. 5'6" or 5'8" I think.

So, 5' 7" would be a good average guess. Pretty much guaranteed to be wrong, but closer to right than one of your answers.

6 feet 4 inches in my heyday. Probably less now.

Exactly. You will not have a street with more even numbered houses than odd (there may be some obscure exceptions, but statistically insignificant). There will either be exactly the same number of even and odd numbered houses, or one more odd numbered house than even.

Here's a strange fact, a candle flame smells exactly the same as burnt nostril hair........

Could that be because the even numbered ones rarely start with zero?

So on average there are likely to be slightly fewer even numbered dwellings, as their numbers are one greater than the odd numbered ones.
