Bob, I think that sketch was originally on That Was the Week That Was, but I think the 2 Ronnies were in it. Ann Glos

Yes Immin is about 5'5'' which is very short for a man,but he is solid,in proportion,not fat at all,but built like a brick chichen house.If he wanted a fire when he was a kid he had to haul his own logs up hill,so his upper chest and arms are very strong.Uummm! Nice-Rose

Lucia, you positively tower over me, I'm four foot eleven and three quarters. Believe me, that three quarters makes all the difference! Lets face it I was never going to be tall. My mother is five foot and my dad was five fooot three, as for my maternal grandmother, she was four foot ten at her tallest and sixteen stone. Her and my grandfather must've looked a sight together he was five foot eleven and a beanpole!

I'm 5'3 (just!!!) I'd love to be taller and slimmer but with a mum who is 5'4 and a dad who is 5'5 I'm doomed! Ultimately would rather be short than overly tall as a woman! I love a tall man! becx

I bought a long demin skirt the other day and loved it cos it was sweeping the floor! Saw someone in town last night wearing the same thing and it looked short on her!! She spoke to me and said mine looked right and hers now looked too short!! That was a confidence booster for me!! I also hate it when some giant of a guy stands next to me at the bar and gets served first!!

I hate clothes shopping now. was always a reasonable size 12 untill the middle aged spread took over. Now I seem to look a sight in everything so stick mainly to trousers and jumpers
