That's a very interesting article. Which reminds me of an email I got a few months ago saying, "did you know some guy is using a picture of you on his Guardian Soulmates profile?" It's true! How he hoped to explain it if he ever went on a date, I have no idea. Unless he did actually look exactly like me and just didn't have any pictures to hand.

The height thing is about managing expectations though. I went on one of those t'internet dates once with a man who said he was 5 11. Now I am barely 5 3 so have no scope for comments on men of less than god like stature but in heels I range from 5 4 to a rather resplendid 5 8.... well I turned up and was considerably taller than him and I felt a little embarrassed and swapped to my flats to try and be sensitive.


If someone used my photo on a dating site I think I would be remarkably flattered, puzzled, but flattered.

That was certainly not the intention.


Well from the age of around 17, upon realising that I was at my final height, but unwilling to accept my diiminutive stature, I learned to walk in heels. I have been practising ever since and now I think I am rather good at it. I rarely wear 5 inch heels these days admittedly.

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
