[unruliejulie]

If you could have been around to witness a historical event of any kind and during any century, what would you have liked it to have been ?

Mine is a bit shallow but i would loved to have been around when England won the world cup in 66 because i can't see it happening again in my lifetime. It must have been pretty fantastic.

The Crucifixion. I'd also like to have hung around Jerusalem for a few extra days.

1969. Man on the moon - needed to be there as I am one of those cynics who don't believe that it ever happened.

2 events spring to mind.

1) July 1st 1916 (The Battle of the Somme) when my great great Grandfather, along with 20,000 other brits died at the hands of the invading Germans. I would have loved to have watched his back or perhaps just to be there to make sure his died with dignity.

2) 1932-33 England cricket tour of Oz, where we utilised the "bodyline" tactics. Loved to have supported the English in the face of great adversity from the swaggering aussies. Also would have witnessed Bradman, possibly the best batsman ever albeit an aussie.
