Useful advice

More useful advice from a very old man. The Reverend H.J. Bidder, aged 86, sat silently, with a crumpled face, all through dinner and then promulgated the following: 1) never drink claret in an east wind 2) take your pleasures singly, one by one. 3) never sit on a hard chair after drinking port.
