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?
