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.

Lived in a few of the places you lot are mentioning:Newcastle, 23 years on and off: nice place, found it a bit hard to find decent bars (i.e. not full of idiots and quiet enough to have a chat). Friendly people in general.
Also, when will people finally realise that the metrocentre is just a load of shops and NOT a holiday destination? *grumbles*
Bristol, 4.5 years on and off: not bad, plenty of good ales and nice people. Excellent music scene.
I've also spent a reasonable amount of time in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London:
I love the buzz I get in London for the first couple of days and then the shine wears off and I want to leave sharpish.
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are lovely, but as pointed out earlier, Edinburgh is full of tourists and therefore has to take 2nd place to the much more relaxed Glasgow.
