Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Always carry spare tights.
Aimed more at the ladies, although these days you just can't tell ....
My mum always made sure she (and I when I grew up) had a spare pair of tights (or stockings) in the handbag on a night out.
"If you have them, you won't need them. If you don't have them, you will need them."
Nothing ruins a smart outfit on a night out like a ladder in your tights. My drunken attempts to pull up tights after a few too many sherbets has seen the "spare pair" dragged out of the handbag many a time.
Thanks mum.

Similar...I look at condoms the same way, I'd rather have one and not need it than not have one and need it.
Although once I had one and didn't realise :(
