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.

not mine, but one of my favourite
qotw replies ever, from juan quar:



I used to look after dotty old pensioners.
They had industrial-grade senility. One told me, 'Never smell of wee. My mother always used to say that. Never smell of wee. And I never have.'

Good advice. We should all listen to Doris's mother.



this nearly made me wet myself the first time i read it...

If you had wet yourself
you would have smelled of wee, and therefore gone against this sound advice.

I thought all old people smelled of wee anyway? -and Lavender, and Imperial Leather. EDIT and Talcum powder.

Do you use the shower gel or the soap?
As long as you use deodorants and don't smell of the soap you'll be ok.

I use the soap
I tend to find all other soaps smell of girls.

That is the sound of peppermint tea hitting my laptop like rainfall.
This has made my day!
