The quiet life

If you found yourself transported back in time to the 1830s, do you think you would enjoy it?

I wouldn't enjoy it much. No, I don't think I'd like the basic conditions. [I'd probably miss] luxuries and the comfort that we have now.

I imagine that it was a lot quieter, especially in somewhere like London. Everything's so fast nowadays. It's great - we've got the internet - but the world goes by so quickly.

The whole computer generation means everyone's communicating so much quicker, which is great on the one hand, but if [the world] was [moving at] a gentler pace I think I'd like that. I don't know that I'd much like anything else.
