This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, 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 asked us our full names and then said that he didn't like calling ladies by their first names because 'A ladies first name should only be used when you have seen the whites of their thighs.'

That reminds me of one of my Italian lecturers, the sorely missed Carmine, whose replacement was comparatively crap
who would differentiate between girls and boys in his classes by calling the boys "tu" (informal 'you') and girls "Lei" (formal 'you') because "girls should be put on a pedestal". Bless.
