Advice to a Young Backpacker
1. Follow your heart.
2. Take care.
3. Take some Kendal Mint Cake.
4. Always have access to a clean pair of underpants.
5. Ignore the signs that would deflect you from your chosen path. Well, not all of the signs. This one:
is quite a useful one to take heed of.
6. You can tell a lot about a place by its public toilets, or lack thereof.
7. Beware inmates of youth hostel dormitories who sleep with their eyes open.
8. Avoid Leicester.
9. Avoid the brown acid. I have it on the highest authority that the brown acid that is circulating around is not specifically too good.
10. Stay off the towers!
11. Do as the locals do, whatever that might be. When in Rome... drink too much wine before going on a spree of bottom and handbag-pinching.
12. The village idiot, town crier, country bumpkin and the city gent - they all have their story. For the love of Zeezus, don't let them tell it, unless you want to be stuck with them for days. Run for the hills if you have to.
13. Your destination: I don't know what it's called or where it is but you'll know when you get there. Send me a text when you arrive because I'll worry otherwise...
