Useless adviceAs a new parent, people seem to think it's OK to pass on any and every old wives tale possible. "Don't hug him too much". What? Quite what possesses people to pass on baseless, idiotic, useless advice I don't know.
That said, I quite often give car drivers directions and then, after they've moved off, realise that I've sent them down a bike-only route, so I can give as good as I get.
What useless advice have you been given (or handed out) recently?

My mother-in-lawWhen we moved house, my mother-in-law told me the best way to help our cats to find their way home in unfamiliar surroundings, is to put butter on their paws. Eh??? Apparently they can smell the buttery scent of the trail they have left behind. I say utter bollocks.
