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.

I'm rubbish at giving adviceA month or so back I was entrusted with giving my now ex-girlfriend's nine year-old son 'The Talk' after he had asked her if she and I 'did sex', and she had gathered that he didn't know what he meant.
I took him out with me when I walked her dog and told him the ins and outs (so to speak) in what I thought was a thorough, but simple and stright-forward way.
A few days later, in the car back from Blackpool, he'd obviously been digesting the information I'd given him and piped up, from the back seat;
"Mummy,"
"Yes, James?"
"BK says you've got a China!"
The talk was obviously not cogent enough.
