Aye, learn all about lumbago, rickets, bunions & how often they loose their false teeth or there's always how things were so much better in their day & how these young uns nowadays have got no idea.

Humour aside though, the oldies can be a good source of anecdotes & experiences as in one point they're right, it was definitely a different world back in their days & the following generations are moving forward & in many cases forgetting lessons of the past.
