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?

Hangover cure advice...... My Dad gave me a pearl of wisdom when I was recovering from the worst hangover of my life (21st birthday).
"Tie some string around some bacon fat, swallow it then pull it back up slowly".
Just the thought of this had me with my head down the pan within about 10 seconds. Shame was I'd held it together all morning without puking until then.
