    Anybody that did want to go back to that would very soon be apprehended by the men in white coats,heavily sedated and taken back to the secure unit that they escaped out of.Mind you,at least there was a fishing industry back then,and it wasnae all bad...the crack more than made up for it I'm sure :)
