If you were offered £15m..............?

On the condition that you went back to live in the 20th Century.

The latest date you could be dropped off at would be 1st January 1990.

You could take your partner and Children.

You could not make contact with your younger self, friends or relatives of that time.

Would you accept it? If so which decade would you choose?

Feckin tough one. On one hand my family would be well taken care of. On the other, the people you'd leave behind? The technology, Having to go through the agony of Wembley 1994 all over again and waiting at least 15 years for Jose's Chelsea to win the league.

On the other hand I'd have a guaranteed season ticket for all those great years, because it would have been renewed from 1990/91 onwards

The reality is that if any of us went back we wouldn't be able to explain the inner workings of a mobile phone or a laptop to anyone else.

Well very few of us anyway.

No chance we'd be able to recreate one.

Of course not but with 15m I could hire the people with the know how or invest in the right companies.

These things are rarely invented singularly, the one that works best wins through, so for example I wouldn't waste my money on laser disks but look to pursue the VHS option for tapes, even though Betamax was marginally better quality. I wouldn't wait for Apple to tell me what is the best mobile phone (or software at least) but work with someoneto develop and Apple type solution, patent the sort of things apple have before they got to them and you are laughing. Yeah I am going to change the world, I aloreaddy have my tagline, just need a logo.

Yes and Tottenhams inability to beat us at Stamford bridge was a couple of years old at the time, infact I believe it would be a decade or so before you beat us again home or away.

Still, you digress. The original point is: you can't have a jet boat in 1890
