We had an explicit "no stamping" rule, which could be overturned by agreement before a game.

Actually, we used to have a rhythmic string of rules which were very sayable, which I can't remember, along the lines of "no stamping no biting no _____ no _____ no ...", with a list of things, and a rhyme or two in there. I'm going to ask any old friends I run into and see if I can get the full thing back again.

I'm pretty sure the first two were no stamping and no biting though. If you'd anything like that, I'd love to hear it!



Nope, nothing like that. Apart from not varnishing the conker I don't think we had any rules at all. It was a free-for-all. South London, late 90s.

EDIT - and right on time, south London rules show up in today's Guardian
