Is that you Winnie the Pooh
Not sure where you can get acorns but try local gardening shops etc.

If you can find oaks then just collect from them

Same thing as an eggcorn, duh.

The only place I can think of is from an oak tree? There's a big one around the corner from Thermo King entrance.

This year was actually a very good year for acorns, but at the moment they have all fallen from the ground and are either buried or gathered by animals. The real Irish oak is the sessile oak, and this is the one Ireland was covered in until those pesky English came over and chopped them up.

My dad has a big interest in oak trees and has pretty much decided to plant the land we have in sessile oak leaving enough space for animals to graze.
