"You in 1905"

Get a snapshot of your life as it might have been had you been living in Britain 100 years ago. Just enter your gender and your fathers profession. I would have been a printer 100 years ago.

You leave school at 14. You work hard for ten years as a printer and you're eventually promoted to the position of manager. Occasionally you go to the theatre – your wife loves musical comedies. More often, you go to the music hall with your family, where you love a good laugh and a sing along after a hard day's work.

You marry but your wife dies while giving birth to your second daughter. You have saved enough to give her a good burial. Despite bronchial problems, you're able to join the army in 1914. You die as a private soldier in 1917 at the Battle of Passchendaele.

Hmm. Interesting life, and ironically, still a creative one. Not bad! :)

-Jon
