After the Ashton Gate 8 period, Chris and Geoff Merrick went to play in Hong Kong together, and were housed in an apartment about 8 stories up. If you read Geoff Merrick's autobiography, he tells the story of how one night Garland wanted to go out on the town but Merrick didn't so off Chris went, forgetting his front door key, so after Geoff had gone to bed, he heard a knocking on the window. Chris had climbed the 8 stories up to the room to be let in, but couldn't as there were bars on the window. He had to go all the way down again, with Chinese voices shouting at him. R.I.P to City legend.
