Good story. Except of course I think Chris and his brother must have been pulling your leg on that score.

 

Manic Miner was written by Matthew Smith and released by Bug Byte.

All the Horace games were written by William Tang and released by Beam Software and Melbourne House.

 

Anyway, pedantry aside, here's a photo taken from the bridge.
