Joe Wilkinson got people sharing their advice to live by – our 13 favourites

In these uncertain times, what could be better than some sound advice to keep at least some of our lives on an even keel? Apart from a political future that wasn’t going to make us all poorer, obviously. Luckily, the very funny Joe Wilkinson had some advice, and put out a request for more of the same.
