        Hmm any change in history would change the very basis of reality as we know it today, And if you went back to attempt change it, you would either be "lost" or you wouldn't be able to change it.

          Why would you want to do that. If it wasn't for the war and the millions of deaths then we wouldn't have the Great Escape and boxing days would never be the same again. If 6 million Jews had not been murdered then there would ahve been no Shindlers List.
          Would Russia still have a agricultural based economy?
          Would Michael Caine have had such a good career?
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

              According to some bloke Stella Rimmington was talking to on BBC4 the other night, Stalin nearly got killed in the UK for chatting up some English rose. The local romeo's took exception to Johnny Foreigner stealing their birds, and attacked. But some guy managed to get him to safety.

              No Stalin would make an interesting alternate history.

                  Adam and Eve should have kept up the mortgage on the Garden of Eden. They could have leveraged up and sold some 2 beds off-plan. Humanity would be quids in! Instead they defaulted and God repossessed.
