Yeah Londondrz, I left a load of my skin and shreds of jeans & T-shirt at that very spot on a summer's evening in 1986 when I left my flat at the top of Manor Mount and, in about 8 seconds of complete madness, freewheeled going backwards on my rollerskates down the hill. I was lucky not to have caused an accident or injury involving anyone else but then I managed to do my round-trip down to Catford, along to Lewisham, New Cross and Peckham and then past the Rye up to Honor Oak Road and chucked a left Manor Mount back to my flat.

Another time, I had my old Fiat Spyder parked outside my flat and someone thought it would be funny in the middle of the night to let the handbrake off and knock it out of gear to make it roll down and into a tree just past Waldenshaw. Again, it could've been so much worse.
