 I'm aware that, in some circumstances, giving bad advice can amount to 
 professional negligence. But what if the person giving the advice is not, in 
 any sense, a professional in that field? Can they, too, be liable if their 
 advice causes demonstrable loss to the person taking, and acting on, their 
 advice?
