Agree about Alexander Armstrong's ears, roses! They seem to have a life of their own...grin

I'm stuffed then. My ears are quiet big as it is. They'll be calling me Dunbow in a few years.

Yes, ears do grow as we age.Also, I can't take my eyes off Alexander Armstrong's ears when he is on TV .
My ears used to be quite small, now they seem normal.

I can't, but my dad could.

Apropos of nothing on this thread except ears, I watched 'Not Going Out Outtakes' when I had insomnia last week and Timothy Vine's ears are amazing. He can wiggle them up and down at will! Can anyone else do that?

I did type but, honestly!

It is true, our ears and noses continue to grow as we age. My DH always had big ears and now, as he is losing his hair they look even bigger. He hates them, by unfortunately there is nothing he can do about it.

Yes, and google will often very helpfully anticipate your query (sometimes hilariously wrongly!)

I've always done that Gk, it just always seemed more intuitive and actually quicker to type a whole sentence than to faff with key words!

BTW does everyone know that you can just type a question into Google (it has been improved with time) e.g. "Do ears get bigger with age?" In other words you don't have to faff with key words.

tt that is indeed strange and would freak me out shockgrin

I do think ears get bigger with age, and if you google there is lots - www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2013/jul/17/big-ears-grow-as-we-age

I'm off to check my nose now! (My ears are tiny).

Lately I've noticed that my ears are folding over when I lay down on my pillow at night. They never used to do this- are they getting floppier/larger as I age do you think?
