Hahahahaha
Kids don't play conkers any more. I think a lot of schools ban it.
You can tell this because you can find loads of conkers lying around all over the place, whereas when I was a kid you could hardly find any.
Also what's interesting is that the conkers are bigger than they used to be because nobody is going round and prematurely knocking them out of the trees with sticks, stones and dogs.
Well I think that's interesting anyway.

I have noticed this
We've got hundreds of Horsechestnut trees near us

Around here
There's lots of chestnut trees, but there's very few intact chestnuts, just loads of the green casing things lying around. I'm guessing the local schoolkids loot them.

Ohhh, OK...
Just go ahead and disprove my theory, then. See if I care.
