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.

@K2k6Indeed I have. What I meant was that the English of the educated and wealthy wasn't so different from that of the commoner. Thus Queen Bess to Edward de Vere when he returned to court: "Sir, I had quite forgot the fart". (He'd let rip in her presence, and was so mortified that he'd put himself into exile.)
