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?

Hey BrowserI tried the Catholic thing on JoBo's as it was my Da's suggestion (dee previous posts to understand what my childhood must have been like...!) and as I am a very badly (or successfully) lapsed Catholic, I felt it was my right.
On this occasion however the Witnesses in question took it as an affront and a challenge and started telling me that if I would let them in I would see my dead mother (who had died 6 weeks previously) rise from her grave to join me.
You can imagine the trauma this caused me.
I am deeply untrusting of most relgious types to be honest but for the reasons outlined above they are fairly nearly the top of my 'avoid at all costs' list. And that is up against some pretty stiff competition, I can tell you.
