I'd like to travel back to the 20s and met my Fathers Father, he died in 1934 as a result of being gased in the Great War, I have seen photos of him, but it would be good to see him for real

[grannyclaret]

I wouldent mind going back to Little House on the Prairie days...
I know its only a tele programme ,but i would quite fancy living like that....
Mrs olson had quite a good life...but i think i might be a bit nicer than she was..

[pipinfort]

To be fair i don`t think i`d go anywhere for the moment, never been as happy and content but ask me again in a few years when the girls have grown up and i`ll probably want to come back to today when the kids are little and not giving me the teenage problems i`m expecting!!

You can do this ... well, almost anyway .... just visit some small town in rural Saskatchewan

I'd like to go back to 1940, on a nice sunny summer's day (difficult on your side of the pond, I know) lie on my back in a field, have a cold beer, smoke a doobie, and watch the Battle of Britain taking place overhead.

Weird, eh

[emamum]

i would go back and meet my grandma, she died on my first birthday and i have heard alot about her and have been told i am alot like her so would love to have been able to get to know her.

Watch young men, some not long out of school, fighting for their lives? Watch aircraft, with crew inside, spiral to the ground and explode? Watch burning pilots trying to control burning planes before they crash? The Battle of Britain sounds romantic and heroic but it was the same old bloodbath as every other battle.

Actually, nothing at all to do with that ... just the first thing that popped into my head ... and after all, it has happened, no going back to change anything ... not really interested in the romantic and heroic thing; dulce et decorum est pro patria mori and all that s**t ... and it's my choice, and for my reasons

What a shame we can't change history at the same time, I'd go back to the orchard and catch the apple that was about to hit Isaac Newton, that would ruin his inspiration!

Then as I was walking away merrily chewing on the apple, I'd turnaround and say, "No knighthood for you sunshine, you'll still be plain Mr. Newton",

But I would be the hero of all those people that had to sit through hours and hours of the maths teacher telling us all about inertia and everything else he complicated our lives with!

[pussycat]

i would go back in time so i could met my dad;b4 he passed; and met my other family ; but there is one thing i would like to go back in time for ; i lossed two sisters in 5 years one was to go ; but one wasn;t ; one had cancer; the other one i can;t say ;why she passed but it wasn;t her time ; so i;d go back in time for her

[steeljack]

To go back and watch the battle of Roarks Drift and see if the survivors really did sing 'Men of Harlech/Land of our Fathers' as the Zulus saluted them (think not)

To go back , and sit on the grassy knoll in Dallas on the day JFK was shot and try to see from which direction the bullets actually came from.

To go back and watch the football game on no-mans land between the British, French and German troops during the 1914 Christmas day truce.

I would go back to school and pay more attention to what the teachers were trying to get into my skull...I would learn more, daydream and window gaze less.

Oh for goodness sake, Eric, I can't cope with more than one at a time.
