@ Phil - True, many tall women have male partners who are average or short.

Thank you,Rob.
Does it mean that she is 5ft 4 nowadays and was probably no less than 5'5 in her prime? She can be considered tall for a Myanmar(Burmese) woman as the average height there is barely over 5ft.

Editor RobI haven't looked much at her, but she is likely to have lost a couple of cm and would be tallish for her country.

Rob,how tall would you guess Madam Aung San Suu Kyi(Burmese Politician) to be?(Their footwears were quite similar there).There's no specific information about her height. Note that she is a 73 yr old lady so she could have lost a significant amount.
Thank you.

Editor RobMaybe close to 5ft 4

I make her 5ft4ins. I've studied a lot of her photos with other politicians, and she looks slightly more than 8ins shorter than David Cameron - and basing that on him being 6ft1ins. Her with Boris Johnson supports this. BoJo's definitely 6ins shorter than Cameron, as he's usually shown at only up to eye-level to him.
Theresa May does look taller because she's slim with slender legs. Nicola "Wee Burnie" Sturgeon is 4ft10" or a fraction shorter - not particularly short, mind.

Editor RobThere's limits to trolling 🤫 🤭 5ft 6 might even have been pushing it to the extreme, let alone 5ft 4!

Sure,Rob,I guess people that voted for either side had serious reasons to do so.One can only hope that politicians will find a compromise that will satisfy the highest number of citizens no matter their convictions.
Ultimately I think one shouldn't dramatize the whole situation,I mean it's not like UK is going to become the enemy of EU members even though some tensions will probably rise now and then.
Maybe the british got fed up with some EU decisions and wanted more sovereignty or simply didn't want to share their wealth with poorer countries which is understandable.I guess poorer countries like Romania or Bulgaria would have more to lose had they organized such referendum.
In the end the biggest problem of the EU must be the lack of a real and interesting european program.As Gaddafi once said about the Arab League:"nothing reunites us,arabs...except this room(parliament)".
As for May's height I feel 0.5"loss at her age is reasonable so maybe you would give her a peak height?

And to think that your country is among the top democracies.Imagine if you had our politicians.A bunch of corrupted incapables to say the least.UK citizens wouldn't survive more than five minutes with our policies.A freaking mess that is!
The thing is that the subject has divided your whole country in an unprecedented scale.As in all elections worldwide it's sad to see that a short majority like 52% has to decide for the whole country.The 48% remaining which is a sizeable minority(and the EU) are certainly trying to slow the whole process since it's not their interest to see UK leave.It simply shows the limits of democracy.I mean I'm neither for Brexit side or pro EU but what if the results were the opposite?That's actually the case in Scotland where 5 out of 8 people wanted to stay,same for NI with 55% or so.No wonder the task your PM was given is among the most hateful.I guess it's among the most delicate questions a british PM had to handle so far.The worse is that now there is a real risk that some will scream for injustice should UK doesn't leave next week.
Editor Rob
From a personal perspective, the EU in the last year actually cost me with their requirements for EU Data protection.
As for Theresa, I admire the fact she hasn't walked away, I doubt many leaders would have lasted as long as she has.
Still, regarding height: today she can still seem near 5ft 8, so it's not impossible 5ft 8.5 peak for her.

Sometimes Emanuel taller sometimes Theresa taller when Theresa don't wear her 5 or 6 cm heeled shoes. Both are 173cm(5ft8).

If I voted for it (I may or may not), I wouldn't be happy with how it is playing out. I don't think either side would!
As for Theresa, I think it is arguable that she could have went from 173 range to 172.

Some people, especially women, are long limbed but short in the body so they're not as tall as you'd think. I think she's one of those people. Maybe a morning height of just over 5ft 8in but I put her at 172cm, just less than 5ft 7.75in.

I have seen quotes of 5'6" on-line for Mrs May, but our Rob is much nearer the mark, no wonder the press want to hear from him! However I am inclined to offer her 5'7.25" - 5'7.5", however 5'7" flat does sometimes look liable though!
Blow me down with a feather duster!

Teresa walks like she has bad knees or bad feet.
She's definitely no smaller than 5ft8 and always looks taller and is probably 5ft10 or 5ft11 in various heels.

She looks about 6'4''!
Her arms are so long and trousers too short!
You'd think that she could afford have a few outfits made that actually fit her limbs.
If David Cameron could gift vast sums of money to his wife Samantha's hairdresser and stylist surely Theresa could buy herself a suit or two.

Looks around 5'7.5" and her husband 5'8.5". Well she said he has barely made the height cut off for her do date him but I generally agree that height isn't the most important factor however being tall definitely does help at least a bit in terms of dating.

I would say she is about 5'7" and her husband about 5'8"! I have seen her on the television and in newspapers and I struggle to see her near 5'8". I agree with Max in that I see her being 5'7.25" at tops.
I wish her the best in her new term as prime minister! I am not saying whether I voted for her or not!

A lot of taller older women tend to stoop. Her height very tall back in the early 70's when she would have been a young woman so maybe a bit height conscious.

Thanks for the info, Rob. Agree with you. At Bute House (Edinburgh), May towers (almost a head) over Sturgeon. May is wearing 'kitten' heels (even less) and Sturgeon is wearing those insanely high heels she usually wears; May continues to be far taller than Sturgeon, nonetheless. Sturgeon must be no more than 4ft8 (5ft max and generously estimated) barefoot. That said, Salmond is no way more than 5ft6.
