Was just thinking the other day (like you do) if by some miracle you got transported through time, to say the Middle ages a bit like A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court, and you survived not being burnt as a Witch (or Wizard) would you have enough basic knowledge of Science to be able to kick start the Industrial revolution off earlier ? for example would you know how to create an Atmospheric Steam engine from scratch

The first job would be getting accepted with a strange accent and vocabulary and C21 clothing. You'd probably have to say you were from abroad, and hope to be adopted as a curiosity, rather than pitchforked to death by peasants thinking you were the devil. Take lots of sweets and trinkets to make friends... if successful you'd then try to make influential friends, be presented at Court etc.
C21 Clothes smile You obviously havent seen in my Wardrobe recently
