Worst top tip you've ever heard

[Champagne]

We all receive top tips from people throughout our lives. Some of which stick to mind because they're so practical for your lifestyle. But have you ever received a tip from somebody that is really bizarre or shoddy?

Somebody once recommended a top tip for when you ladder one leg of your tights.

You simply cut off the leg in question, then when the same happens to another pair of tights you cut off the leg in question again. You can then wear both pairs of tights so that it looks like you are wearing a normal pair, and you have the extra bonus of a 'double' gusset which can keep you extra warm in Winter.

I'm sorry, but that is a whole world of wrong in my book!!!

My mother always told me that I should take off extra layers of clothes whilst indoors on a cold day, otherwise I wouldn't "feel the benefit" when I went outside.

Nope...never quite understood that one.

My friends mother recommended when I was heavily pregnant with my first child, that I should drink a whole bottle of Castor oil in one, then go for a very long walk up the very steep hills we have around here. She said to keep doing it until I went into labour. I had 3 weeks to go when she recommended it.

Stupid woman is mad anyway. Dangerous advice to give a young woman.

My mates gran used to say that as well.. 'take your coat off or you won't feel the benefit when you get outside'!! We used to take the mick but now I say it and actually mean it! Lol

Top tip I often receive ..'just be yourself!' ...
What a lot of balony, always try to appear to be interesting, rich and polite. Do not try and be yourself, or worst, someone like yourself. Always ends in tears! lol
