It is on that note that I propose that we ban any 'old' person from passing on any wisdom they may have to any 'young' person, I mean clearly none of that 'wisdom' would conform to todays restrictions and standards surely.I mean, what would OSH say!
What say you community!

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be taught in the home much now days either.

You can't 'teach' commonsense - you can only learn from observation of others using theirs.

On this note . we actually often refer to it as 'uncommon sense',as it is a rare commodity these days !:-)

Fair enough if it's advice re commercial premises, which is where accreditation applies, but people who have raised families without giving them food poisoning would seem to be eminently well-placed for giving advice re food safety inthe home.

I'd certainly ban this 'old person's wisdom' ;)
From Aunt Daisy Handy Hints: "Bumps on the Head - Children often get bumps on the head.Let child follow inclination to sleep.This generally brings child out of its dazed condition.If still dazed after sleep, send for a doctor."
Edited to add, after Bumps comes Burns, and dear old Aunt Daisy recommends smothering the burned hands with golden syrup to take away pain and prevent blisters.Yum!

But we are talking about food safety !Our Grandmothers knew how to keep food safe to eat,without even having a refrigerator to help them.I've been camping many times without all the mod cons and have never given anyone food poisoning,due to exercising good old fashioned common sense.The first statement is akin to saying 'don't wash your windows unless you have an OSH certificate',Lordy ! . The whole notion is another example of people getting 'dumbed down' and not thinking for themselves.

Who died and put you in charge!
There is certainly some bad advice given in ALL areas of the messageboard. But it's the responsibility of the opinion seeker whether they follow it or not.And quite frankly, if they listen to the first opinion given and don't bother checking or researching further, then they get what they deserve.
