I would probably go back to 1980 - just a couple of years before my father died - would be nice to see him again ...

Re: If you could have a 'time' holiday?
I would visit some time between 1930 and 1960.
One very interesting option already mentioned is London during the blitz. Assuming I'm furnished with a ration book and other period necessities, I think I could reconcile myself to the food limitations.. I'm not sure if I could live without a luxurious shower with unlimited hot water at least once a day though..
Any time from 1930 to 1960, I would make a point of visiting the old Euston Station.

I worked with a man who once was married to a Scotswoman. As they both had rather fiery personalities, of course, they divorced, but she stayed in the US and developed her own way of living. One of those ways involved never washing her hair! It was her belief that if one never washed one's hair, nature would take over, the flora and fauna of a "dirty" head would balance themselves and eventually there would be no need for shampoo, etc. As their daughter was also working with us for a bit, the Scots mother came to the office to visit. Her hair not only looked good and clean, there was also no odor that I could detect - and she had a full head of very thick, long hair. This would seem to support the low odor theory, it seems to me.
