*GOING BONKERS OVER CONKERS*
September reminds me of my schoolboy days in London in 1955-56.
In our school, Bevington High in Ladbroke Grove, we had a few trees where green and fruits grew that were spiky on the surface called "conkers". We would pick them up, make a diametrical hole and thread it with a cord or shoelaces. Then two opposing boys each with his own conker would tangle their conkers and try to break it. There were a number of variations to this game.
I wonder if any of you guys ever seen schoolboys playing this game.
