Sad day for London and farewell to faithful friends
"John Rowland" typed
"Neil Williams" wrote in message ... The vast majority of people are not over 6' 3" tall. The figure is increasing year-on-year. I think they call it "evolution". You think wrong. They call it "nutrition" and possibly "immigration", but we are not evolving to be noticeably taller within one generation. I think the clothing manufacturers would disagree. Anyway, if the average height increases by an inch, the percentage of men over, say, six feet tall increases from about 10% to about 25% given a normal distribution. If anything, immigation would have reduced the average height. IIRC the Met Police dropped their height restrictions to allow more Asians to join. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
