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.

Not my GranBut her sister. She was in a dept store in New York one time (think it was Macy's). And she asked the shop assistant if she could try on the coat in the shade of 'nigger brown'.
To this day still she doesn't understand what she did wrong and constantly advises me to be aware of Americans because they are 'overly sensitive' and 'living in the past'.
In fairness she spent the last couple of years in WW2 working as a translator for the French Resistance and was later one of the first women to graduate from Cambridge so she can say what she wants really.
