Apparently they fall from trees and a local Council has put notices up to remind everybody.
Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

how long before we have
"warning falling rain. may be wet"
you laugh, one of the conferences i was running sound on the other day had a bit about one of the guys who works for them getting money because conkers had fallen onto his car and damaged it and he reckoned he didn't know they'd land on it!!!
they fall from trees!!!! - he'd worked for the company, in the same location for over 10 years!!!!!! :roll:0 -
well this one was actually about kids throwing things into the tree to get the conkers down, some get stuck up, and a kid got wacked on the head.
But yeh it's definately stepping to far.0 -
I've always been perplexed by the "caution, rockfalls" signs.
What, exactly, am I meant to do about it?0 -

i love the fact it doesnt say "when wet", just that floors are slippery in general.
and the guy looks like he is in the ministry of silly walks.
He could be on the roof of a speeding train blown back by the force of the wind.

Bunny hop, obviously, but it is easier in a Nissan Micra than a Range Rover.

You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -

Every year bloody conkers are in the news! First it was safety glasses at school, now never ending warnings.
Though had to laugh a couple of days ago: was this old giffer in the main road dodging busses and cars as he picked fallen conkers up!0 -
Herculaneum in 2008. Where Italy leads, we follow.
I know someone in the conkers council concerned and sent this to them to show they were slow off the mark.

Up here we've got loads of signs "Oncoming traffic in your lane". Obviously not a thing you can do about it, but they think it's helpful that you know it might happen, just so you can prepare yourself for death.Uncompromising extremist0 -
