Best Piece of Advice your Father gave you..

[Hilts]

In the pub last night with a few mates and they know I'm in a very sticky wicket right now so the conversation went along the lines of..

Me 'I wish I'd listen to what my father had said'

Mate 'What did he say ?'

Me 'I don't know, I never listened to him'

On deeper thought though there was just one thing I remember thats stuck with me and it's this.

When wearing a collar, tie and jacket looks best to have one plain item out of the three ie too fussy to have all 3 patterned, kinda makes sense when you look at it.

Anyone remember anything else their father said ?
