Time Travel A Charlie Pd travel back to the year I was born, and live my life again, but only if | could know then what I know now! I'd love to see my parents and grandpar le my dad to stop smoking, so that he wouldn't die so young. On the ather hand, in the present, | have two wonderful grown-up children and two precious grandchildren Pethaps the answer is to make the best of the present and stop hankering after the past. If] could visit other times just for a day, I'd love to meet my parents as children, and go into the future to meet the great-great grandchildren T' not live to see! B Chloe would not exchange today for any previous era, I have studied a lot of history and whilst 1 would be interested in certain eras there would be difficulties. For example, Tudor times ~ interesting, but as a Catholic T might have had my head chopped off; eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ~ exciting, but too many petticoats to wear, never mind about corsets. Then there is the lack of education and opportunity for women to consider, and the lack of medical knowledge. No, today isthe best time to live. Having said that, | would not mind the opportunity to take tea wit Miss Austen ~ she would have been enormous fun, CEmily Go back in time? Who'd want that?

DJack Thave always dreamed of being a sailor in the merchant navy between 1920 and 1940. At that time, travelling to foreign ports like Yokohama, Saigon, Rangoon, Surabaya and such would have been the same as space travel is today. Imagine coming home after a long voyage, and telling the people in the pub all about your travels! You'd have such stories to tell! I have seen the majority of the world’s cities now, and most look exactly the same as cach ‘other. If you want to travel somewhere that is still unique today, without the time machine, sce Asia but steer clear ‘of package tours, And hurry, do it now befory it all becomes McDooaldised. Liam T'd go back maybe about five years and try to do a better job this time, 1 would never have ended the relationship with the love of my life, I wish | could've known better, and understood then what | understand now. | would also. say at college.
