I use such a mess of measurements - feet and inches for heights (of people), objects in metres (except hills and mountains which are in feet).

Distances in miles. Shorter distances in metres or yards.

Liquid volume a mixture of pints or litres (small volumes in ml).

Weight in kg, except for people (stones/ lb) and food ingredients (oz).

Small units in inches or mm (NEVER cm - thanks to my Dad "engineers don't use centimetres").

I think you're Dad probably knew my Dad then. Let me guess, worked his apprenticeship in the dry docks at Swan Hunters / Vickers??

Damn. Didn't even consider south of the river! Schoolboy error.

^ I'm south of the river myself - Stanley to be precise

If I could, I would, heh. I'm way too tall for my own good and I bump into things from time to time because of it. It's also difficult to ride in cars.

cars with sunroofs

well banging into things kinda sucks. ive got a killer bruise from jumping down off the kitchen counter last week though. why was i on it to begin with? because i cant reach the top shelf. haha x

you still are to me!x

Just about 200cm if I had to guess. It's 6'5" here because this country is fucking stupid. I might be close or I might be totally off but hey, American "education".

Double post because of five minute edit timer (still unsure why it's there).


I JUST REALIZED I ALREADY FUCKING POSTED IN HERE, DISREGARD


Necroposted threads!

about 190-ish.

I always say 6'4" when people ask my height.

King Size Big Mac.

6 foot exactly.

I wish Jared posted in this thread when he first joined. Then again now. He was just a wee one back then. Now he's probably this strapping young lad.

Just over 6 ft 6", so I think I nudge into the 200-210 category. I just about fit through a standard sized door without needing to duck, so get away without looking freakish....
