      Yeah, The Guardian is on thin ice with me thanks to this. Another article like this, and I’ll be reading The National instead.

    Apparently “conkers” are the inedible fruit of the horse chestnut, while edible chestnuts are just called chestnuts.

      Correct. This has been the case since the 1800s.

    ‘Nature’s Labubu’

    I think they are confusing the newfangled slangs here. Clearly, as shown in the thumbnail, it is “Nature’s Bussy”.
