I remember doing that at school. Apparently it's banned now!

@jamibann not in a grown up late night music event ha ha - it did come with a health and safety disclaimer....

[Wendy Stout]

Fabulous… that brings back memories

[Susan Wakely]

Great fun. I remember bruised knuckles.

I would have no idea how this is played but then I’ve never seen a conker either.

@kjarn they are the most beautiful shiny brown things and we all used to collect them from the ground at this time of year. Where the term chestnut brown comes from. In the game, you thread a conker onto a piece of string and try and smash your opponent's conker....

[Kathy A]

Thanks for that, I can imagine the fun and the injuries.

[Babs]

Oh this brought back memories. I have probably still got a few scars from playing conkers as a child.
