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.

my granddad...My old Granddad... Ah, what a guy. Whilst most of the stuff that came out of his mouth was nothing more than bigoted tripe, he did occasionally give me some sage advice.
Like once, when I was off to meet my then-girlfriend, he asked me if I had my 'kit' ready. Puzzled, I asked him to elaborate. He explained that he meant a groundsheet, some kneepads and a packet of jubber rays, for the purposes of having a little al-fresco intercourse with my young lady.
I didn't, as I was 12 at the time, but hey - good advice nontheless.
