Yes
But it had to be made.

I fancy Scandinavia too. I've never made it to any part of the Nordic region yet. I've been to Estonia, which is as close as I've come to it.

Hence your tallness?

That and my dad was over 6ft but he was from Lancashire.

You have good tall genes then!
The Dutch are the tallest nation in the world, I believe. Your average Dutchman is a good three inches taller than your average Brit. Even the women are all about as tall as the British male.

I'm half dutch but got my grandma's short genes.

*sniggers at 'good head' phrase*
Are you a bit of a short arse then? I somehow imagined you to be tall and thin. Don't know why.

I'm 5'4, which isn't that short I suppose,
but I'm the smallest in my family in height and stature.

It's about average in the UK for a woman

I dated a Dutch girl briefly...

I think you fly in a weird way and go over Scandinavia to get to both places.
This might be a lie.

'Alcoholocaust' would be a fair assessment - no mean feat in a country where beer was £4.50 a pint at a time when it was about half that over here.

That's positively inhuman.

Mind you, the Finns - who've no unltra-stringent taxation on alcohol seem to have booze problems that would shame us Brits.
