He's not short. He's average height. And taller than me, the bastard.
I've just had a bizarre afternoon of having to mind the Hamster as he signed books for his mentalist fans.
I've never seen so many sad, frizzy ginger-haired weirdos in one place.
The great Richard Hammond height swindle
You're short.
It's amazing what people will worship.

Sadly, that's what today has revealed.
Average height is 5'9" and a half in the UK.
I'm 5' 7" and three quarters (officially) And I'd make Hammond about 5' 8" - basically average.
What next? Danny De Vito is taller than me?!

Hee hee, short arse!
Actually, so am I. But I make up for lack of height in other areas; if you know what I mean ladies. I mean Ive got hands like spades.
Bloody hell didn't know he was that tall. I have to admit that I'm a member of the shortass club at a staggering height of 5ft 3.
Reading this thread I must be a long streak of piss at a shade under 6ft. There was a fair few kids taller than me at my school though.

To be fair, i think the other Top Gear blokes are pretty tall, so he just seems titchy in comparison.

At 6ft you're a stubby little excuse of a boy. 6'4" is man sized.
I'm around 5ft 11". I had a bit of a complex about my size, as a kid, as I was always tall for my age. I can honestly say, I never desired to be taller than 6 ft.
6 1 - 6 2.
Perfect manly height 
Being short is a bit shit to be honest.

My girlfriend's about 5'1 and she hates it, but what she does love about being short is being able to buy clothes from the kids section in H&M. So much cheaper!

You can never see the band properly at gigs, and your head feels very low to the ground. It also bugs me when I walk past a group of kids and half of them are taller than me. 
Im almost 5'8 if I stretch me neck out.

Thats just being greedy, give me a couple of inches. Thats not the first time Ive said that to a man. (Boom-tish) (That was a drum flourish) (Because I was joking) (Honest)
