Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

My dad's dadflew the fucking great big gliders that carried jeeps and stuff.
he got shot down, his buddy next to him killed (I think) and then ended up having to swim a big river (can't remember which) while being shot at.
Think there's an interview with him in the Imperial War, or British Museum.
As a county librarina he had quite the motivation to write his memoirs, so they will be available for all and sundry once published
