jetro 5,349 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 If you live in any part of history, when would it be and why. For me it would be when they were building newgrange in the Boyne valley. Just to see how and why they did it. I know a bit of a silly question, but it makes a nice change, Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 4,115 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Not that long ago but I'd loved to have been around during the "golden age" of terrier work. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,307 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I thought maybe the mid 19th to mid 20th century........ Then I remembered rickets, T.B., kids down mines and up chimneys, real poverty, ( not the type they complain about today), slums, wars where working class were just cannon fodder, no NHS or dole money; Then I think maybe today's not so bad ! LOL ! Cheers. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,247 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Mid 40s to 1950, think after the war people still cared for each other had a strong sense of community and patriotism, plus you have the swinging 60s ahead of you when your at your peak, a man was still a man and catching your dinner was something to be proud of and admired, great music cars and opportunities for all 10 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 21,614 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Born in 51 and it was a good time to live. We had f**k all but far more neighbourly the back door was never locked. Made our own entertainment as kids got together buggered off to the woods all day no food or water (Drinking from a stream maybe)making camps, hide and seek, scrumping. Knocking about in the street till you got called in Lol. Catching a Rabbit or poaching a Pheasant, catching a Bass or Flounder to help feed the family. Then Terrier work and shooting as I got older, borrow the odd Salmond, Skinning Foxes for pin money. Imo the best music times from rock and roll to present day. Would not change much, some hard times but better times. Cheers Arry 16 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 4,413 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Middle Ages for me between the 5th and 15th centuries so that I could die a glorious death on the battlefield one load of blokes one side another the other a load of shouting and hollering and then bosh meet in the middle go mental with a sword mace whatever takes your fancy and then maybe survive but more than likely die. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I'd like to have been born 100 year earlier, I'd probably have been a shrimper and life must have been so much simpler back then living off the shore and marshland. Edited to add, I wish everyone still spoke like this here too. https://sounds.bl.uk/Accents-and-dialects/Survey-of-English-dialects/021M-C0908X0044XX-1000V1 Edited August 13, 2020 by gnipper 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smithie 2,443 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I'd like to go back far enough that it was a time when most had a home and small piece of land thay had to work every day just to exist and the pass down to the children so they could survive. Horse and cart with haystacks In the field waiting to be brought In by the near community as well as your family. No wars and a nice community spirit Dont know if it ever was but it sounds good to me 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
