Oh, no worries. I've got loads of them. Two stand out, though. Two places and times, neither of which can be accurately located in either time or space, which could be a bit tricky. One's fairly easy though; somewhere between York and London, between September 25th and October 14th, 1066. Just at the point where the messenger rides up and says, "Boys, guess what? There's a whole load of Frenchies landed in Sussex ..." I want to see the expression on King Harold's face.
Two's harder. Sometime around 500 AD, somewhere in Britain, the battle or possibly siege of Mount Badon. Assuming I can speak Latin, Old British or Old English, I could collar one of the passers by and ask "Who's fighting? Where are we, exactly? What's the date? And, hang on, come back, who's the leader of the British side? It's not by any chance a chap called Arthur, is it?"
