Knightmare was one of my all time faves. Quite scary for a little 'un. The fact that, at the end, they would be frozen in the game until next week gave me the creeps. As embellina says, the contestants were the type of kids to get bullied at school.


For the day, the technology was amazing.


Did any team ever win it? I don't think I ever saw anyone make it to the end. The theme tune is a great atmospheric sound.


Ahhh, memories.

I think I must have just caught the first year or so of it - before discovering the dubious delights of drinking cider in parks and hoping a girl might let me touch her up.


Cool though the programme undoubtedly was, I doubt if mentioning 'Knightmare' would have given me the edge over the bigger boys.

Yeah it started green, then bits of the face would fall away and it would go from orange to red and there would only be a skull left, until they found some bread or something to put in the napsack/satchel thing.


There were "wall monsters" who would ask them riddles and stuff too.


Only remember seeing one lot get to the end f the game, which took them several episodes I think!

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
