    I have always been fascinated with Jack the Ripper, so I believe I would choose to go to Whitechapel, in London's East End, during the late summer of 1888, when the "canonical" (for sure attributed to him) murders started.

    I have often wondered what it would be like to walk those damp and dirty streets, knowing that a new kind of killer, one the world was not used to, was stalking his victims in that neighborhood.

    No, I would not be a prostitute. But I would go back as a poor woman in the neighborhood. I wouldn't want to be some posh woman in a West End drawing room, reading about it in the papers. I'd want to feel the atmosphere on the streets as people grew more and more alarmed.

    I have always been interested in that place and time. Britain was a country in transition, and I would like to see that.

    Before Yahoo Answers existed and the World was normal.

    Seriously - I woul like to go back to the 1920s.

    It was such an amazing time for Art & Literature and exchange of ideas.

    Unfortunately, it would end with the Depression.

    i would go back to 1996. that was when i met a boy called daryn who i fell completely in love with. for some reason i was so dumb that i never believed he liked me although he couldnt have made it more obvious. one day he asked if i liked him and if i wanted to go out with him but i was petrified of the feelings i had so i run away and said no. i have loved him ever since. i have been married and divorced and still he is the one i always think about. he is married now so there is no chance of us ending up together
