I don't think kids play with them these days like we used too. I blame the interweb. I remember people used to bake them, soak them in vinegar etc etc

On the conker theme - when I started cutting up my SIKA (which will be transformed into a camper) I found quite a few conkers in the various cavities. It had been parked up in a field so I imagine it could have been a squirrel laying down it's winter larder!
Sorry Georgia, I threw them on my bonfire.
