Anyone else think the average height is now 6 foot?

Almost every male I see in my year is at least 6 foot if not over. I feel short at 5'11 yet supposedly the average height in the UK is 5 foot 9. Anyone else think this statistic is wrong or kept down by old aged pensioners? I barely see any male who is below 6 foot and those who are are usually like 5 foot 5, never see any 5 foot 9 males.

I'm 5 foot 8/9 shoot me :-))))
