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.

For my entire youthI was afraid to sit on cold walls, doorsteps, etc, after being told that doing so would "give me piles".
I had no idea what piles were until many years later. But I still to this day sit on any available wall or whatever in a juvenile act of defiance. And I've never had piles.

I've been told that as wellbut I still sit on cold walls, floors etc... and have never had piles. Worst I've had is dirty jeans from sitting on the floor of a tube train whilst drunk
