Fancy getting involved in something newsworthy?

This is what happened in 1960:

Probably medical information not yet discovered, and the obligatory sports almanac.

My car which I would sell for silly money... Yes it may only be a hot hatch by modern standards, but surely back then it would be quite high up the performance ladder?

I often wish I had a life like that of the fella in Goodnight Sweetheart.

Considering the news of the winter of 1963, I would take inside loo, central heating and my laptop with fav films and games!

I'd take Gordo with me and leave him there. It's where he belongs after-all.

That's my thinking. Although I'd bring back a folder full of print outs of larger company share prices and charts over the years. Snag is with just using today's FT, you won't know the prices in the 50 year period so would still have to slog hard in a job for several years before you could actually trade as you'd only start making money in maybe the '80s when you hear of some flakey one man bands called Microsoft and Dell, and you'd have to hold for 15-20 years to make serious money. Perhaps I'm thinking too much into it.

Don't be stupid. If I went back fifty years, I wouldn't have even been born yet.

What use is that?
