  1. Autumn Scrooge here making sure none of the local kids get any fun

  2. OP is really confident the 4 holed containers will catch them from spilling out

  3. Before people start grabbing them to shove into corners of rooms to gather dust and shrivel, it’s worth a reminder that **conkers do not deter spiders**.

    The only way to get rid of a spider with a conker is to twat him with it.

  4. Apparently conkers when soaked release a natural stain removing compound and people use it as 100% natural (& free) laundry detergent!

  5. I really want to run my hand through this to hear the noise it makes. I imagine it would set my ASMR radar off the chart.

  6. Galaxy Minstrels and Malteasers without the chocolate layer.

  7. Work in reception and we have literal buckets full of conkers here, and several carrier bags completely full of conkers.

    We had a school trip to the park where we collected them and other autumn things, also every single day children bring conkers in to show off.

    They’re a fantastic counting aid, and had one child count all the way up to 50 with conkers he collected.

  8. Apparently, you can make a kind of soap with the conkers.
