Bonkers

about Conkers is what I used to be as a boy. I experimented with soaking in vinegar, baking in the oven and finding better ways of drilling the string hole.

Fifty years or so on and I cannot remember whether I had a sixer or a thirtier or higher, but do recall that nobody lost an eye or was brain-damaged playing the game. The H&S Executive I hear, have a section on their website devoted to conkers which apparently explains that they also have nothing against it.

Well that's ok then.

Except around here, the street cleaners have picked the lot up and consequently, all the conkers are either in a hole in the ground somewhere or the street cleaners are soaking them in vinegar. :)
