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.

Sort of on topic...
But since when has being on topic been necessary.

The sweetest thing I ever saw was at a very cold and windy train station platform. A very old man was sheltering his very old wife by throwing his arms around her and hugging her tightly whilst she leant back on the station wall.

Still brings a lump to my throat.

Awww...that is sweet

Did she have her skirt pushed up or is this not a dirty story?

^^
I was going to say something along those lines, but thought it might damage the lovely nature of the story in some way...

Been known to do that one myself.
It's a great excuse to cop a feel.

ahh, old people
oldies love that kinda stuff, at 17 i gave my jacket to a very (possibly anorexic) friend of a friend, as it was freezing and she was in a strapy dress. a group of old men gave me a round of applause as "theres still a gentleman in the world". i was loving it, she appeared to have diverted all blood to her cheeks.

What's really great in cold weather
is to have a cloak, because then you can wrap it around both of you. Makes a very romantic and intimate moment...

@ TRL
Hundreds of years ago before the advent of public loos in cities there were men who had big cloaks that were used as curtains around a bucket (if you were lucky enough to get a bucket) so the ladies could have a pee while out.

Apparently.


I read it somewhere.
