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?

Mother againMy mater left home at 15 and her mother's advice to her was straight from the heart:
"Don't bring any trouble home here."
And my other grandmother told me, when I was a child, that if I saw a black man, I should spit and turn around three times.
Silly old buggers.
