@bsag I can't imagine anyone outside the UK understanding this.

@rknightuk It’s one of those things that you don’t think about, and then when you do it suddenly hits you how weird it is 😂

@bsag It’s human/dandelion symbiosis: we spread their seeds, just because we do.

@cn True. Which would be sad because it would probably mean that people had not spent portions of their childhood outdoors, messing around in nature.

@garethjones I haven’t thought about all those things in years! We used to do the same. Also we made “poison dart” pipes from some big hollow plants, only we used rowan berries as the darts. @bsag

@garethjones Haha, yep, we did that too! And we used leaves and pebbles as “currency” when playing shop.

@garethjones You’re welcome, I used to love doing all those things too. My pockets were permanently full of acorns, pebbles, empty snail shells and confers as a kid.
