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.

Grandad tells it like it is!Ok, so imagine the scene. A young Stewaddy is sitting around the table, grandparents are down to visit, it is lunchtime, about a month before Stewaddy embarks on his university years.
Granny is giving it the barry, trying to focus the mind of a Stewaddy who has nothing but beer, parties and girls in his sights "You are there to work, mind" she says "there'll be none of this staying out late or talking to girls" (!)
Granddad reaches over, gently puts his hand on hers and say "Ina, leave the lad alone. He is sensible enough. He will do his work, then once it is finished I will imagine he will pop out with his friends for a beer and a cannabis cigarette."
Cue chicken soup exploding out of my nose and mouth.
