If you could live in any time/era...

If I could choose my station in life, I'd like to experience either the late seventh/early eightth century, round about the time of the Venerable Bede, as the concept of an 'English' people is being born and their own sense of history is weighted by several centuries; or, I'd like to live in the 19th Century, in the Industrial North, see the development of a working class consciousness.

But.....if I can't choose my station in life, I stay right where I am :P The past ain't pretty if you're a working class girl.
