Not Allowed..

[Scrumpy]

Conkers..  might have someone's eye out
Woolf whistles.. Offensive to women

[Mups]

Isn't it this weekend that the Conker championships are being held at Northampton somewhere?

I collect a few every year,  always have done.
I put them along my window sills because I read once they can deter spiders coming in.
Have to be ultra careful with my little professional thief  (Gertie),  as they are poisonous if eaten.

[muddy]

I put them in the wardrobe they are suposed to deter moths.

Conkers great game at school.. The boys were killers..

No leaves allowed in the playground.. A child might slip.
No snow allowed in the playground.. a child might slip

Children.  Highly irritating, expensive, keep on doing stupid things which, loud....

[morty]

What a dangerous world it is for children ..
It's a wonder any of us managed to grow up and reach adulthood.

What was it like when you were a child in the 14th Century?

[morty]

Well .. you can imagine ... I'd be snuffling for truffles in the forest and the nobility came riding through boar hunting and and would stick me with their spears.
But, I survived. 

[Scrumpy]

As soon as the leaves begin to fall a man with a handheld machine comes to the little school across the road to blow away the leaves..

[klondike]

And the bloke who lives in the house next door blows them right back.

[morty]

Don't some suck?

[Dextrous63]

We need to replace deciduous trees in urban areas with evergreens.  

[klondike]

Some do but the ones most councils seem to use just blow. It they want to pick them up they use something that doesn't need to be emptied every few minutes.

A lot of evergreens drop bits of branches and cones. No leaves but still a mess.

[Scrumpy]

I leave it to the wind to decide...

[klondike]

So does my council.
