Here's a question for you, if you could travel back in time , what period would you go to , who would you like to meet and what event would you like to witness ? ( 3 questions really ).

I'd want to go somewhere with adequate standards of health care and hygiene, with minimal levels of social unrest, reasonable levels of personal security to meet ordinary men and women to see what their lives are like.

Oh wait, that would be right here, right now.

Oh, I'm so boring  =)

The night David Cameron was conceived to get his father watching a movie rather than ruin this countries future.

If i could go back in time, It would be the day before we lost my brother, just to tell him the things i never did/had the chance to...

Peter that's great mate, we'll said.

Fenton

I would go back to the day before Beeching published his future for the railways in the UK and get him to change his mind
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Think I would like to be with my dad when he jumped into Arnhem in 1944. I was a para for 22yrs and have been in every trouble spot over that period but would liked to been there with him.

These personal things are really very good. I expected responses to be "seeing if Lee Harvey Oswald really bumped off JFK", "take some safety specs to Harold at Hastings", "palling up with Zuckerberg", "intercepting the man from Porlock" or "inducing the British soldier who shot Corporal Hitler in the groin to aim a bit higher."

I like the personal ones better.

Tell the 20-something me to ask her out, and save 22 years of wondering.

I would like to go back to my late teens early 20s, knowing what i know now -( no not the lottery numbers) but the important stuff thats actually important in life.  Like how to make the most of the time you have, not to waste an oppertunity. and like LH to tell the 18 year old me to ask her out.

I did meet her recently and I found out she would have dropped the bloke she was seeing and gone out with me.  Certainly got me thinking.

The Death of Julius Caesar
York c400AD and find out why the Emperor Constans makes a sudden mid winter visit.

The moment my Mum and Dad first fell out to tell them to get on with separating rather than holding on for my sake for five years.

The moment I pulled my first year girlfriend at uni and tell myself to go out with her mate across the corridor, who was less tapped in the head and, as I found out years later, much much better in bed!

The moment I proposed. Just coz I'd like to see the amazing Mrs Lemmey' face again! <3
