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.

Shortly after passing my driving testI was having trouble with my parallel parking much to the amusement of my friends.
This came up in conversation at a family gathering to which one old relative (I forget which) uttered the words:
"When everybody's dead it doesn't matter where you park"
This is true, and I took it on board. Mainly to use as a threat following further ridicule.
I can now park very well
