    ‘Nature’s Labubu’

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

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

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