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?

French exchangeAlbatross, you remind me of the French exchange I did when I was 13.
One of my classmates told our young Gallic cousins that the worst swear words in English are "broccoli" and "cauliflower".
Cue lots of French kids talking about vegetables in front of not-at-all-shocked but slightly confused teachers....
