Ever heard of the Runcorn bridge in Cheshire, England? Runcorn is my home town. If you've never heard of it, just picture the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it looks identical except it's green and the Sydney one is just slightly bigger. Got that? Well the bridge dominates the Runcorn skyline, and when I was very small I used to think that cars actually drove over the top of the arch of the bridge (you couldn't see the road from my part of town). I got quite a surprise the first time I actually went across on the road, but also felt a bit let down!
