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.

My NanGrandmothers always seem to hold the wisom of the world. Mine is no exception. The one thing she always says to me (as she did to me yesterday when I told he about my unfair dismissal - long story):
"Gir, it happens for a reason. You can't see it now, and it won't happen it for a while, but when it does, you'll know."
The most infuriating thing is that she's right, too. Thanks Nan, you're a star *
My Grandfather on the otherside is as nutty as a squirrel bless him. His advice to me on going for an engineering iinterview was:
"Make sure you have a vernier calliper in your shirt pocket."
as a mate had his had done so and beaten everyone else to the job. I was going for an electrical engineering role, and I didn't have the heart to say no.
