My standards regarding my 6' height vis à vis Oswald's 5'9" includes subtracting the 3" differential at the moment of truth (so-to-speak). My 35" object at some six foot guy's height leaves 3-4" between said object and ground zero. Subtracting some other guy's 3" height differential leaves said object a good deal closer to be 'almost touching the ground'
As I've said previously, Chappers, don't tell us show us. Or can't you afford a photo program? If you can't, as you suggested earlier, pass the hat round your fellow Feluccas.
