Im surprised that the limit was as high as 5' 3". I'd imagined that about 5' 6" was an average sort of height at the time, so I'd have expected bantams to be 5ft or so. I note that jockeys still work to a weight standard that is way out of date. I think it has been modified to cater for larger people now, but still many can't do 8 stone nowadays.
I heard Rory Stewart on radio a few days ago. He's a 'good turn' in the media, but there aren't too many openings for staunch remainers these days. His moment may come again. Didn't he stand against Boris for the leadership?
