The Daily Mail do not agree with your analysis of the evolution of women's weight and body shape. Surprised you did not consult them. If there is one thing the Daily Mail is good at it is producing in depth analysis of women's weight and body shape. Actually that is the only thing they are good at - and it is a pretty niche and offensive speciality. They are useless at everything else.

If you can't be arsed to read it (totally understandable) the headline is that women in the UK were 2 inches shorter and half a stone lighter in the 1950s - and they all looked like Angelina Jolie. I was skim reading so may have got that last bit wrong!

Sure it wasn’t Dom Joly?

[Citizen's Nephew]

In John Charles' autobiography he writes about my uncle 'Citizen' (of the Western Mail & Echo) having to give him a lift from the station because nobody from the Welsh FA sent anyone to pick him up as he travelled independently from Italy. The story about the wives is absolutely true. I spent my childhood looking through a scrapbook of press photographs (most of which were/have never been published) of the '58 World Cup. I wasn't born until years later but I've still got that scrapbook that was given to my dad. It's an heirloom.
