I'd like to go back to the fondly-remembered days of the first Lottery draws - then immediately after that, I'd amuse myself by dabbling with pre-boom property. Ah, that would be fun.

Smoking before it was bad for you. In the pub. While making sexist remarks. Possibly while slapping someones arse 😀

I'd quite like to revisit the drugs from the early 90's too

Late 60's to 70's in general.

I'd still be a dull fart, but I'd like to imagine being a millionaire rockstar playboy who raced cars on the side inbetween trips to Monaco to sail my yacht.

This

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.

Would also loved to been around the studio 54 scene etc

Afghanistan before it got too mental.
India at the height of the Indian Raj not when us Brits had it.
Opium is fun. Had a few nice days with the Hmong tribesman when I snuck into China 15 years ago.
Oh yeah some of those super hot black chicks who were at the weird religious thing at the velodrome when I met you rusty. Don't pretend you didn't see them.
Am I still allowed to say super hot black chicks?

Alpine passes with roads over them that weren't metalled, and putting newspaper up your jersey to keep warm on the descent.

There were a few girls I wish I'd tried. Went out with some saucy bints when I was 14-15ish but didn't realise what my little old fella was actually for!! (WTF?) & more to the point, didn't realise what they were after!

I would have liked to try the Scottish Six Day Trials on an old Ossa or Montessa Cota or something like that. I used to own a BSA C15 Trials bike that was so heavy but I did build it out of a box of bits, kinda gave me a feel for playing in the mud..

Pre-Colombian America, all of it
British mountain roads pre-tarmac, on a modern MTB
Cardiff when it wad a small town with walls
The Valleys pre industry
The Somerset levels pre drainage.
In fact, the whole of Britain circa 1000AD, bears and all
Doggerland
The Holy Roman Empire
Antarctica pre-snow
The whole of Britain in Neolithic times or before. To stand in the forest where my house now is and look down the same valley to the same coast with no bugger anywhere.
