crookesey Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have spent a lot of time, during the snow, on the superb Library Services - Pictures Sheffield web site. If Scotty could beam you back, what era would you select? I would opt for pre 1st World War, this was a hard choice, as between the wars would be so interesting, but I think that for someone born in 1947, I would need to go a little further back. What would you guys opt for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 About 1835. I'd get a job on the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, driving one of those old rattlers down from the Wicker to Masbro'. Or, throwing my guts up on a sailing ship to America about the same time. I'd probably regret both but it's the way I feel now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimay Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Would I be beamed back in just the clothes I'm wearing or could I have a bag and pockets stuffed with gizmos that I could 'invent' and make a fortune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sycamore66j Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 The early 70's would be far enough for me. Then i could take more notice, and act on advice given to me by my father. which would hopefully result in me not making some of the mistakes that i have done over the years.

crookesey Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 I would love to go for an early Friday afternoon drink in the Nelson (Moor Head) circa 1912, and see my grandad balancing his illiterate but master cutler bosses weekly accounts, prior to said boss passing the remaining money to the landlord. I wouldn't mind taking in a live show at the Hippodrome on Cambridge street, Charlie Chaplin with Fred Carno's would be good. Into Nells Bar next door for drinks and supper, if my grandad is in at that time he will feel the flat of my hand on his backside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
