If you could time travel

[hobbledyhoy]

where would you go?

I fancy a stint as an aristocratic Regency heiress or perhaps Edwardian where technology was advancing rapidly with cars and planes and the outbreak of war to see how people really felt.

There's so many different eras I'd love to visit but I always want to go back, never had any interest in looking at the future. Probably for the best, considering.. 😂

I would like to be my user name and hop to different time lines , tho I'm not sure about the sex changes ! 😳

Edited for clarification, I played Sam Beckett in Quantum leap

I'd just go back to the early 90's and relive them.

Back to just before I lost my lovely Grandad. I'd give anything to have just 5 more minutes with my best mate.

Aside from that I'd love to spend some time in the court of Marie Antoinette.
My husband would say the second world war years.

I'd go back to around 1900 and just wander around my hometown for a day seeing what I recognised.
I spend a lot of time thinking about how this might work. Could I wear my comfy trainers if I've got a long dress covering them up? Can I take photos with my phone without people staring and wondering what the hell it is?! etc etc.

I loved Quantum Leap, may have to rewatch now!

I'd go back to my 20s and sort my future trajectory out.

I love the romantic idea of going right back, but the reality of life pre anti-persperent would be repulsive. The stench must have been horrendous.

Go forward to 20 mins after the lottery results then come back and buy a ticket.

I think you'd quickly get used to the smells. The lack of antibiotics would be a much bigger issue.

Anyway, I'd go back to 1890 to meet my great grandparents and warn my great grandmother to get to hospital to give birth as she'll die giving birth at home.

Great show.

Back to early 2019, I would try to get DH diagnosed earlier and maybe, just maybe I could've made his outcome better.

@hobbledyhoy , go on rewatch it , its cheesy but great

@Andylion great photo but that's why I'm not sure I'd want to be Sam 😁.

Back to 1994.

Back to the late 1960s - great music, long summers, we hadn't depleted our wildlife yet, nothing to worry about (because youth)

So many eras to choose from

Tudor times, love HenryVIII history
1920s vegas gangsters and flappers
1940s London and my home town
Victorian London

ETA also a time before humans and early man

That sounds like bliss.

Doesn't it? Best time frame ever.

Bizzare my during WW2 would be my first choice as its an era I have always been interested in and would love to see if the community spirit was a good as it’s made out to be.

or Tudor times

Can we go back and still know what we know now? I’d go back to 1997. I wouldn’t go to that man’s house and I would have bought property as soon as I’d turned 18.

I'd go to 1991, I'd be very slightly older though. I'd be 20 if I could choose. I'd go to illegal raves, I would go to all the best nightclubs, was the Hacienda open then? I'd go there for sure.

I'd have ecstacy, I'd dance to some of the best house/piano songs of my youth that I was too young to enjoy in clubs at the time.

I'd hug my dad and tell him how much I loved him.

I wouldn't risk changing my time line so wouldn't visit my own life. But I'd love to go back to when the pyramids were being built to see what actually went down.

I'd like to watch Shakespeare on stage at The Globe - in one of his own plays, obviously.

But the prewar Edwardian era also looks fun - obviously, I'd have to be upper class to really enjoy it!

I would not change anything. I am a product of my age and education. I think I have put in as much as I have taken out along the way. But for a window on history, I think I would choose an adult life lived between 1660 and 1685. The English Restoration. I can think of better periods of government, and periods of faster economic and social progress, but I cannot think of another period that started to cement personal freedom quite the same.

1980s (mid 80s) to tell myself how bloody fabulous I looked back then and enjoy life . I'd still marry DH though
