The old boys in the village collect conkers for the kids and put them here, at the park entrance.

1. Love that. 

2. Nah if I was a kid I wanna find my own weapon

3. This is a great idea. I was like a wee monkey tree climbing for them when I was a wean.

4. Illegal arms dealer

5. I’ve got a huge conker tree just round the corner from me that’s just started to drop and I collect about 20-25 a year to put round the flat to keep spiders out.

   I don’t know if it actually does keep spiders out though but I’ve been doing if for over ten years and can probably (thankfully) count the number of spiders I’ve had indoors on one hand.

6. I doubt most kids would have a clue how to string a conker these days, it was one of life’s important, and painful lessons.

7. I choose to believe it’s squirrels.

8. It’s a nice idea, but isn’t half the fun in finding them?

9. I love this on so many levels

   I reckon they’re collecting them for themselves, they just don’t want to keep them.

10. Imagine not finding your own conker

11. Aww.

    I still collect the first conker for my mum. She died 3 years ago so it’s still on the dining table…

12. Top lads.

13. This is the way.

14. 3rd one on the bottom row is a belter!
