I was reading an advice column from a UK newspaper, online, and I lost it!

This was unusual in that letters were sent in asking for advice, and the answers were provided solely by the readers themselves.

Guardian? Daily Mail? I can’t remember!!

It depends on what you mean by advice. The Guardian supplement, G2, has a column where readers ask questions, on any subject, in a QI vein, and readers supply the answers. Not really advice, more opinions.
