Try and be a swot and aim for uni. I had no aspirations or will power and drifted along with quite a good brain.

Go to my Grandparents' house for dinner and give them the biggest hugs.

I’d go and have a fag in a pub

I misread that and thought you must be Prince Harry. 😮

Such a great thread - I read all the replies.

Some really sad and heartbreaking posts though 💔

Run a campaign so that all council housing sold off was replaced and all new housing was properly insulated. Devise a strategy for retraining miners and other factory workers and provide local jobs and opportunities for them before shutting the pits so they feel looked after. Push comprehensive schools to have the opportunities grammar schools had and keep free music lessons. Remove charitable status of private schools. Enshrine in legislation proper payments forever for NHS dentists. Insist various members of the labour party look after their health

John Smith would have been a amazing prime minister, taken far to soon.

Me too. I stopped cold turkey eventually.

Divorce my husband then.

Also not cut my hair.

Tell my dad about Mr. O'Neil.

BE A BETTER MUM.

Revise for my o levels

Pattydale · 14/04/2023 18:58

Train as a dentist though I was only 9 so maybe I'll instead say challenge the girl next door but one and say "I know you stole my doll" when she appeared with
my missing doll. Yes joanne. You thieving cow. I knew.

trulyunruly01 · 14/04/2023 19:37

I too would revise for my o levels, however, there was a very lax landlord at the White Lion and I did like a cinzano.

I'd go and find my wife much earlier so we can have more time together. Admittedly, I was a nob when I was younger so she may not have liked me then, but since this is fictitious I can dream. We didn't find each other until later in life, but she's the best.
