If you could go back to any point in your life, when would you choose?
Not necessarily to ‘start over’ again (tho that’s fine too) but just to go back to that moment, maybe because you miss it or have a fond memory of it or because it was the happiest you have been or the happiest or most special time of your life…
1). 20 years ago when I first met my wife, long before she decided to start cheating on me. 2). And then there were the days together with my son, before he decided to grow up. Days long gone. Long, long gone.
70 years 3 months 9 days 10 hours and 44 seconds ago, not being able to remember it is shear heaven, it must have been good
Max, this level of specification could have only originated from a spreadsheet.
this was before my spreadsheet days, or was it 
Its so hard to contemplate life without a spreadsheet isn’t it
i mean, how would we remember yesterday
And, how would we know (guess) what to expect, what’s coming up next? it’s better to keep all this information locked in the sheet that locked in yer head 
I’ve been playing some Neil Young from the early 70’s ('72-'74), reading the lyrics, singing it to myself, really takes me back … young, free, single, uncomplicated.
I miss the days when I could go out on my Bike , those summer days when we packed a picnic , We couldn’t afford a car at the end of the 70s and for 10 years our only mode of transport was a Bike for myself , hubby and 5yr old daughter .
And again when we could afford a car , I would plan a day out in the Peak District walking the hills ,sometimes at the side of a brook we would stop to rest and eat our Ham Salad before carrying on …the day would end with the hour and half ride back with the latest top of the pops blaring out me singing along .
History repeated again when my Son came along and we gave him the same quality time we gave our daughter , bike rides , picnics, walks .
A good time can be had on very little money .
My husbands ashes are now scattered in those hills among the heather ,where one day my ashes will be scattered
I’m having the best years of my life right now, so I wouldn’t go back to any other time.
I wouldn’t mind reliving my trek from the UK across Europe, the Middle East and Asia that I did in the early 1970s.
It was a wonderful trip and created some vivid memories. I suppose Afghanistan and Nepal were the highlights but the whole journey was a magical time.
Incidentally I read the entire Lord of the Rings during the trip. too.
Ended up back in Australia where I had an epiphany and realised this was where I wanted to live
Any time I had with my dad. 
I would go back if I could go back knowing what I know now. It’s only these last seventy four years that have made me into the person that I am today, so it would have to be a sort of time travel having still experienced all the things that my life has offered so far.
I loved the simplicity of the late fifties and early sixties. No cars, no phones, and no computers.
Focusing my life on family, friends and loved ones with no distractions. Very little news from outside my community, and a very close community at that. Days at school followed by long adventures out in the country and games played around the kitchen table. Homework was unheard of, and education consisted of reading, writing, arithmetic and some religious instruction. Too much education is a dangerous thing, and it projects people above their station in life. Makes folk too bolshy…Hence the attitude of kids today. Being bolshy in those days earned you a clip round the ear…
With a girlfriend, though we met up with different people along the way.
Yes, that resonates with me Eliza. When I was seventeen I bought a bike from a department store in Oxford Street although I can’t remember which one. I was working as a sales assistant in the audio department of Boots the Chemist flagship store in Regent Street at the time. I used to get paid cash weekly in those days, one Friday the brown envelope contained a rebate of some sort. Hey, I was a rich seventeen year old! 
On the Saturday morning I bought one of these…
Loved it to bits, it served me well. I’d go out cycling round London with my buddies and a bit further afield too.
I wouldn’t want to risk cycling around central London these days! 
I would not want to go back tbh.
The past belongs just where it is,i look forward to the future.
No, I truly wouldn’t want to go back either. Sometimes it’s nice to indulge in a little trip down memory lane, a wallow in the past.
Anyway until these become both available and affordable on Amazon I’m staying here…
I wonder if they’ll be made in The US or China?
