Another excited conkerer, nice photo too!
I lived in the country, but went to secondary in a big town with no conker trees and me and a mate used to actually sell them to kids at school in the early eighties 🤣 No idea how much we got, but it’ll have spent on goodies 😋
One of my primary school photos has me with a big cut on my forehead from a conker match with my brother 🤣
As a Kingston Poly student I also remember being excited to find sweet chestnuts that were big enough to eat in some London Park, possibly Richmond. We cooked them on the stove on the old boat I was living on and they exploded everywhere 🤣
