I had to look up the word 'conkers' and found out that apart from the seed of the horse chestnut, it is also the name of a traditional game. Did you play it as a kid?
Yes, as a kid we played conkers. But, it was banned at school on health and safety grounds. Bits of conker in the eye and painful conker blows to the hands and wrists.
I really enjoyed this stroll in the woods.

Rough, fast and furious games in the good old days, weren't they?
Yep.... Another one was British Bulldog. A rather rough tag-like game. Brutal. Or it was at my school.
Just checked a couple of online videos. It's a miracle it doesn't turn into a free-for-all brawl.
That was the problem, they often did.
