I'm pretty sure this sketch involved Cleese, Barker and Corbett... personally I think it's situational. In Glasgow pubs in the 1990s it wasn't unusual for me to be at least 3" taller than anyone else there. And LT will tell you I'm a wee Scot. I was dwarfed by Australian private school girls. (Although in all fairness, my chief memory was a senior journalist friend buying trays of cock-sucking cowboys for the Australian netball team on Green Square in Canberra.. and the memory is pretty hazy after that.)

Dwarfs = Highland Light infantry, which I always thought was odd, as they were supposed to be faster, but carry all the same size equipment as everyone else despite being 5 2" with a bad attitude. Should be slower with better morale.

Those netballers can put it away...

Wasn't it "Poison Dwarfs"? - Edit - that was the Cameronians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameronia ... sh_Rifles)

I wonder who would win a bar fight between the Camerionians (in their prime) and the Australian women's netball team (suitably fired up with CSCs)?

Close call?

I can only speak from personal experience about who would come out on top .. errr

But most of the Australian Netball Team would be most disconcerted.
