I appreciate electricity, central heating, flushing loos, clean, running water, etc to want to go back. A day visit in a Tardis would be OK but I'm afraid I'm happy in the here-and-now! Janice

It would have to be in the 1920's, in a wealthy upper class family, and able to wear the fashions depicted in the tv series 'House of Elliott' (so I would need to be thin) Tina x
