Just because someone speaks with a posh accent, doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about.

Passed down from my late Grandfather 'Your own front door'. In a nutshell; own, don't rent, your house.

One from my then Boss when I was moving to a new department 'Keep your eyes open and your gob shut'. Best bit of (work) advice anyone ever gave me as I thought I was going to show the new team a thing or two. Thank god I listened! I would often use this maxim after I was promoted and my staff were moving on.

Growing up in the 70's my own Mum was partial to dishing out a bit of corporal punishment. Not long before my own Daughter was born I was listening to a discussion on the radio regarding about discplining children. One of the guests said 'Never smack your child as this means you've already lost the arguement' My Daughter is well into her teens, to this day I have never lifted a hand to her
