"Im 5"7. I thought i was average. Obvs not. Not quite BFG though" I thought the average would have been higher, but it isn't and you're tall. A good tall though. | |||

"I’m slightly below average height. Or stuff generally is slightly higher that is strictly necessary. Putting stuff up high is just making efficient use of the full height of a room" Being shorter than average is making efficient use of overall land mass/population density/flying freeholds/listed buildings with low ceilings/differential between pavements and streets. I could go on. | |||
