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.

The nursing home bit reminds me of a incident with my Gran a little while ago.Whilst waiting for a routine checkup on her hearing aid, my Gran was in the company of a number of old ladies who for one reason or another were discussing their activities during the Second World War. When asked, my Gran answered that she had been on an anti aircraft battery.
"What city were you defending?" Another asked.
"Oh, Munich" she replied cheerfully.
Although a Sudenten German by birth, she's been here so long, you'd need to be paying very close attention to tell.
