We each of us have invaluable lessons we could make public.

Here's mine:Never believe or pay a cold caller on the phone, not even if it sounds true.

If there is meatloaf on the menu, order something else.

Especially if they get teasy when you ask for a number so you can call them back when you've checked them out :wah:

If dire necessity means you have to use a public convenience it is always a good idea to check you have picked one with sufficient paper for your use.

They say laughter is the best medicine. This is not always true sometimes it can be very unhelpful and annoying.

When out and about, take an extra layer - you can always take a jersey off; it's hard to put it on if you don't have one.

Oops. Gin and rhubarb?

Whenever you speak to a loved one on the phone, always end the call with "I love you".

chuckle. Dunno. It's a liniment for bruises I mentioned in your carcrash thread. Not important. (I said brandy and rhubarb originally, but spot corrected me)

No - when reminded it rang true. And it wasn't the point of the story anyway.

Which isn't to say applying whisky internally and externally wouldn't be good advice in certain circumstances, and rhubarb has been a well known panacea for centuries. So this is definitely, "Good advice".

Gin and tonic works well against malaria, of course.

Never trust a man In a Jersey and Cordroy trousers who knocks on your door..... He'll be a Lib Dem, a frightful bore and want to talk to you about PR for hours until you lose the will to live.
