bonkers for conkers
Well, the leaves are starting to turn into their burnig Autumn coluors, and the kids should be out looking for conkers....
Not sure they still do though. For us oldies however: do you remember all the conker games? What were the rules? If you won once your conker was a oner, then a twoer, then a threeer etc. How was it? I used to pickle mine in vinegar to make them harder. Some people varnished theirs, but I'm sure that was cheating wasn't it....? Where were the best ones found? anyone know? |

Re: bonkers for conkers
There used to be a waccy baccy plant in the council offices.I know for a fact.Back in the 70's.Round about 1976.The bloke who had it there thought it was a tomato plant.Know for a fact because it was his son that gave it him
