I think I'd like to experience old time properness. I'd also like to be considered a "good chap" for having a 'tache rather than looking like a paedo.

Well, if you mean the plane I'd prefer a Camel.

If the track, it's still available.

Not having a computer/iphone etc.

Just for a bit like, I remember sitting under my mums desk when we couldn't get a babysitter. Just a desk with a phone and an ashtray and a massive blotter thing covered in phone numbers.

I can't conceive of it anymore.

As far as I know there's no time-limit on that one...

Ms. Joanne Lain, geography teacher from sixth form days, 1993 through 1995. To this day, I question the decision of whoever sanctioned putting a very attractive 23 year old posh girl in charge of a class of predominantly male 18 year old students. Standard class banter (paraphrasing, but this conversation genuinely happened):

Paul: "Do you follow football, Miss? Have you entered a team in a Fantasy Football league?"
Miss Lain: "Actually, Paul, I have entered a team, yes."
Paul: "Me too. I've been deliberating which goalkeeper I'd like guarding my goalmouth. I like the Arsenal keeper. Would you have Seaman in your mouth, Miss?"
Miss Lain: "No, I've got Tim Flowers."

It's also to my greatest regret that I wasn't born a couple of years earlier, so I could have played more of an active role in the acid house era.

Going somewhere were no other visitor has been before, maybe deep in the Amazon or somewhere up in the Hindu Kush, old school Victorian explorer stuff.
Follow the old spice trail from China to Europe on a camel.
Visit Bedlam, just to see if its any different from the average town center on a Friday night?
Visit Bethlehem around Christmas, 0BC and see if any of the story is correct.
Go to a speak easy club in the 30s.
