Basically, if twins thought they were identical, they were, even if their parents thought differently. So if J&E think they're identical, I'm inclined to believe them.

Well thanks very much for delurking to drop that news off. Is it a flash based website because my stupid iPad won't let me read it

The article, having now read it, is quite a read and still leaves me at a bit of a loss as to what I had previously understood regarding identical twins.

I come to the conclusion as your spoiler has mentioned:
Spoiler
John and Edward regard themselves as identical twins and therefore are identical twins. I'm a believer.

As for the possibility of them being fraternal twins, I grew up with monozygotic male twins in my street, and nobody could tell them apart...except for me, and once again, it was down to their eyes being different.”

So I'm not the only one who thinks that Edward looks a lot like Kevin I was beginning to think that I was going mad

I think I've even heard Edward say it (in Let Loose maybe? Before they leave the house, he says something about "this is our brother Kevin, he looks a bit like me")!

Well, lets just say they are a stretch to get on but once on they are nice and comfy It makes up for when I saw these boots I had been after for about a year..they were on sale at £40 after having been £130!! I just had to have them after seeing a friends and even trying hers on.

A warning!! 'Fly London' boots are not for people with a high instep, no way could I get them on, I tried for 3 days to get them on before I had to send them back. My feet are wide and instep high... I was soooo sad But I was meant to get the xhigh converse instead!!

Haha I wish... no, I was at work unfortunately. I have never met them, though they inspired me to go on a trip to Ireland recently! Thanks all for the welcomes, what a lovely fandom

Yes Edward does say that. So they do know despite them being confused for one another there are solid differences, not just the 'charming disfigurments' as Johnathan Ross said.

It looks like they're almost identical in height these days, but John seems to have filled out a lot more than Edward. That will probably even out too: I think Edward's relative slightness goes back to his injury+operation, when he seems to have lost a good deal of weight - they're pretty much the same size in footage/images before that.”

I have certainly noticed John's thighs are much more muscular looking at the moment...not that I make a habit of looking at his thighs you understand...

Just moving from teenager to man maybe slightly quicker then Edward...awww....

Course you don't

But I think you could be right, Johns voice seems to be deepening faster than Edwards too..

Just read back, exciting news that we may have a visitor tomorrow....I hope he is prepared for questioning about his time with J&E...details.....we need details

Don't worry...I'll tip toe around, give him a false sense of security before I do any real interrogations

...Just kidding..I liked Bobby and in reality... I'd be happy just to say hello

You never know, he may start following you on Twitter...I certainly don't have a monopoly on him, he follows a lot of the Jed-heads.

Ooo this is exciting, I commented on his blog the other day - I have been a blogger in the past and love it but just haven't had the time this year, except for a few photographs, yes,very lazy but I must get back to it. I do love Bobby's style of writing though, really engaging.

re the article the scientist in me feels the need to point out
Spoiler

perhaps the twins that felt strongly about their monozygocity didn't take the test

But the findings are pretty interesting and I agree that if J&E feel like identical twins they probably are whatever the placenta situation was

Yeah, I think that's why I have been followed, because I comment on his blog regularly, and I use my Twitter address on that. Nice guy. I seriously love his writing, you are right, it's very engaging. He's got it all really, very smart guy.

Anyway, back to the Boys...wonder where they are right now?

Well other than eating porridge and loving the UK It's a mystery...., but they haven't been on twitter much, so I assume something is keeping them amused

Spoiler
I fully would expect them not to take the test. I also fully expect they were tested when they were born and it is actually known to them and family. I do still believe them if they say they feel identical, then identical they are. I feel so tip toey around making spoilers all th time. This isn't as if were tabloids giving away a gameshow result!
