You, I presume, have never cheated at conkers, have you?

Two things:
Firstly: It is an absolute scandal that you should be suggesting that people cheat at conkers. Not only that, your beastly ruse will not work: a year old conker is a mean and shrivelled thing. The inside may be harder but will have shrunk a bit leaving the outer shell vulnerable.
Secondly: A conker (whether in training or not) should be a thing of beauty: deep brown and shiny. Your old conker will be dull coloured and crinkly.
It is like comparing WHAuden with a baby’s bottom.
