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?

And while I'm on the subject......when you need to use sandpaper, fold the sheet in half (rough side in) then tear it in half, then, fold each half in thirds. This gives you a useful sized piece which will fit in your hand. To avoid digging it under splinters, tuck the edges up between your index finger/thumb and ring finger/little finger.
Hey, this is years of wisdom here! I've got more, honest, no, don't go away....
