If you could travel to any point in time, where would you go?
is it a temporary visit (i.e. do we return to present day, or do we travel there and are stuck there from that point forward)?

be aged 10-12 in 1959
go right through arguably the best music period creaivity, culture, spirituality awareness , revolution, protest and peace , freedom of speech and spirit and of course anarchy etc ..or Rockers, beat generation & jazz, mods,mowtown ,hippies, glam rock,northern soul , heavy rock, ska/2tone, punk & reggae, & new wave, new romantics, indie then goth ..Those gotta be the best times ever in music history .. I am and always have been well disappointed I wasn't born just a few years earlier

Just noticed that I guess unlike others I show I have no intention of wanting to be anywhere "historical" or be anywhere that might change history which some folk may think odd ..but in the words of John Miles "music was my first love..." so kinda makes sense to me

and yip would be more than happy to stay there and carry on no real desire to return to where I left ..

Me? I'd probably go back to being a kid growing up in the 80s and early-mid 90s. I had no worries or responsibilities back then, life was pretty carefree. :)
If it was a case of just a 'visit', I would probably do alot more than what I actually did the first time around, and if I was stuck there, well I would hope that I know the same stuff I do now so I'd go about things very differently (learning from your mistakes and experiences and stuff). I would really look forward to telling my year 9 algebra teacher, Mr. S., that I was right in that I didnt understand why we had to learn algebra when I wasnt going to use it out in the real world. (Almost ten years on and I still havent. :P)

Victorian London. Just got a major hard-on for Victorian London. Seems grimly fascinating.

If not, then the 70s. Don't know if it's because it's when I was born, but it seems interesting.

Failing all else I'd go back to WW2. God knows why, as it must have been horrible, but again there's something about it that captures my imagination.

Id go back to 8th August 1575 when Elizabeth I visited Stafford, get a pic of her and on my return post it here, surely scoring a few skill points ;)

I would like to go back to the 60s and see my parents growing up, find out what they were really like, and my Grandparents that I don't remember much about.

But what if when you got there, you were on your own? You'd feel pretty silly then wouldn't you! Everyone knows the flying spaghetti monster was responsible. And also that global warming is caused by lack of pirates, they have proof!

:rofl: So eloquently put.

I get transfixed when looking at photographs of Victorian times of places you are in, usually an old pub or bar and all those people that have walked there before us.

The old folks home on the corner of Wolverhampton Road / Lichfield Road has some photos in the big lounge area. Some are instantly recognisable, like the town park etc. But others took me ages to work out. Amazing how much changed in 100 years, its not that long really.

I'd go back and visit Ralph - the first Earl of Stafford.

Have seen a cast of him up at the Castle - wanna see how accurate it was, how life is treating him and how the hell you walk around in chain mail without crippling yourself.

Would be nice to see the Castle when it was new as well.
