David Knight

A 38-year-old City of London barrister David Knight also happens to be the Northern Ireland Cluedo Champion, He raised creditable challenge in UK round of the World Cluedo Championships.

Mr Knight played as The Reverend Green at the tournament, held appropriately enough in the Sherlock Holmes Hotel, Baker Street, London. He described the competition as "intense", and narrowly lost out to Josef Kollar, 53, the defending world champion, who always dresses up as Colonel Mustard.

Mr Knight, meanwhile, left Lovell White Durrant, a City law firm, three months ago to set up his own Internet company. He is aiming to put law relating to housing finance on the Internet so that local authorities and housing associations can get basic, up-to-date legal advice and information without having to pay a solicitor.

He has also recently been appointed to the legal board which advises the Association of British Insurers (ABI) on law relating to property.
