Thats more a superstition than an old wives tale"

Iirc the carrots helping night vision was pushed hard by the propaganda department in ww2.
Night fighters were being equipped with radar so suddenly much more effective they had to tell people of this to make them feel safe but they couldnt leak why so they pushed the idea that all thier pilots ate lots of carrots.
Upside kids who looked up to the pilots ate thier veg  |

"Dandelions make you pee the bed
Sitting on a cold wall gives you piles"
Taraxacum officinale is used as a diuretic and helps protect against urinary tract infections. Not sure about the piles though.  |

When I was a wee nipper, if I was going out to play and it was cold outside, ma Gran used to say, "Wrap up warm or you'll catch pneumonia"
Well, I had pneumonia last summer, and I don't think putting on a string vest would have prevented that |

Front bump = girl. Big hips and bum with bump = boy. Think that was the right way around. Was with me x |

Makes sense, sitting on anything cold will draw heat from your blood vessels therefore could cause collapse of smaller blood vessels around the anus |
