6ft 3 and the tallest of 3 brothers - 6:3, 6:2, 6:1 and my late father was 6:0. Mother always found it easy to remember 
My 14+ yr old son is 5 11+ and so lanky, it's not easy getting him trousers - 28in waist and 33in inside leg !
Still growing too

Me too. Just over 6'5'', 6'5'' and just under 6'5''. Other than that, we're quite different.

Ahhhhhggh. Land Of The Giants!!
I am happy to say that @ 6'2" I had the luxury of feeling quite short in the presence of Red Tom!
Now we just need to get Red Tom to meet Postman and get the same sensation!
I'm 6'1" and always thought I fell into the tall catagory. Judging by the responses here, I'm just average 
I notice that 76.67% of us are over 6 foot. Either that is now very common or the vertically challenged on this board don't wish to make themselves known.

This is more the case
1.83 metres. Given that my Dad was 5 ' 7" and all my brothers are short arsed props I'm quite pleased with my height. My two sons are the tallest in their respective classes, barring one or two girls who have all shot ahead as they approach their early puberty. But not for long (snigger).

6'3" - although every other year I have a medical and they make it different each time - usually taller.

Another 5'3", though I used to be 5'5". Didn't know that I'd shrunk 'till I had a height/weight check done by the practice nurse last year
Apparently it's not uncommon to 'shrink' as one gets older - something to do with the 'squidgy' bits between the bony bits in the spine getting compressed over the years. Nurse (6'1" - I asked her) said "Nothing to worry about Colin - you probably wont get any shorter than you are now" Huh!
