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.

In a hurry?An old bloke once imparted the following advice to me, regarding speeding on the roads:
"It's no' how fast ye go, laddie, it's how slow ye dinna".
And he was right. If you can maintain a decent speed without having to slow down, you'll get where you're going much more quickly than if you're racing along then getting held up.
I now travel at a constant 70mph everywhere.
Last sentence may not be true
