  I never stopped growing, each year I get bigger around the middle.

  Apparently your nose never stops growing, regardless of how many lies you do or don't tell!
  A true story...

  I think I probably was full height by 18 1/2 or 19. I was very thin at that point (like a 28 waist), even though I'd gone through a couple horrible fat years as a pre-teen. It took till I was 25+ to be able to really gain any bulk.

  I stopped growing about 14/15. I grew about 3 inches from 12-15 years old and am about 5'4" - can stretch to 5'5" if I don't comb my hair!
  
  My mum is small - 5 feet exactly, and my dad is the same height as me. That's why I can address him -
  " Awright Weeman.."
  
  Most of my family are small - a lot of West of Scotland people in the 50+ bracket are small. Something to do with powdered egg and Spam during the war.

  I'm the tallest member of the family. Growing up we had corned beef, instead of spam

  OOOOO very posh! Corned Beef - very impressed LT - and did you open a wee tin of Salmon on special occasions? lol!!!
  
  I might have reached 5'6 if it wasn't for my mother's obsession with Findus Crispy Pancakes. I was also very skinny until I got to 30. I couldn't get above 7 1/2 Stones (about 120lbs?)and used to wish for some extra weight, as I couldn't go out in swimwear as people would often offer me sandwiches. Could eat like a horse and not put on any weight. Well, my wish has been granted, I have been truly blessed..*sobs*

  FF:
  Alas, I didn't have tinned salmon until well into my 20's!

  Findus Crispy Pancakes

  FBF:
  That sounds like a common standard.

  Same thing happened to me. I always thought I was 5'9" which was fine by me (69 inches), but at my last doctor's visit, they said I was 5'10". I'm not sure when that happened, but I'll take an extra inch anytime.

  Speaking of which

  Sooooooo, FBF, how old is your son now?
