I think I'll get over it, @Mi-Amigo 🤣

I saw the update and still thought it would be Mr Small @pgn , so don't feel too bad!

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo

Logically, if he lives in a tea-cup, the smallest Mr Man would be it, @gmarkj - yes, we know sometimes logic does not apply in the WRQ - or in the world of Hargreaves' Mr, and Misses,  Men 😎
