Well it is banned in schools. I'm not sure how many adults you believe actually play conkers, beyond a few nutters (sic), but its mainly been banned for the people that used to actually enjoy it, kids.

I do wonder if by banning it in schools it will get less and less common till it disappears. I suppose you predictably think that's nonsense.

But pedantry aside, its banned for the people who used to play it most and enjoy it, at the place they did just that.




You're downvoted because you're repeating unfounded tabloid rage-bait, hours after someone else posted a reliable source showing the opposite.


Ah yes your experience of a 2008 BBC news article from Copenhagen outweighs my lived, witnessed reality.

How could I be so clueless?
