If MattieH can sell his book, I want to sell mine too.
So where are you all? [i]Someone[/i] has to have liked it when Germanic tribes were coming to dominate Europe, the calendar as we know it was taking shape, and swords had names!

nah far more fun with steam/smogs/whores/dirty urchins in street gangs....much like Rotherham still is today
I'd like to go back say, a couple of hundred years, and take my bike. Just imagine the trails! All those great mountain roads would be rocky tracks 🙂
I'd head for that big downhill on the A470 heading into Dinas Mawdwy. What a cracking descent that would make.
@SaxonRider you want to be talking to my old flatmate - very early medievalist. He'd be mad for that stuff.
I reckon Roman times could be pretty cool. Orgies and such like.
The time when the Anglish and Saxon/Jutish tribes were settling the Eastern Shore of Britain, and the Franks were invading Gaul would be an interesting time to see - if only to disprove the claims of St Gildas that the Saxons et.al. had no art, no culture & no worth...

God yeah, when you have Clovis &co. destroying (and arguably rebuilding) what was left of the western Roman empire? Definitely, "dark ages" for me 🙂
Dealey Plaza, Texas, 1963.
With a damn good video camera.
Maybe Nazareth, couple of thousand years ago.
Just to see what, if anything was occuring.
