Do we get a heads up like "You're about to suddenly wake up a thousand years ago in England good luck!" BOOSH because otherwise it kinda matters exactly where you get dropped. For me it really wouldn't matter much, I'd be dead pretty quick either way but someone with some skills might have a go at it.
We do get a quick heads up, but ya I would die too probably because that was a vastly different world than what we have today. Especially since we basically own nothing now because it’s 1000 years in the past. I mean, if there’s someone skilled enough, they can just try to take some useful stuff they’re skilled at for survival while they get transported to the past.
Another reason being taken back a thousand years can be terrible is because English was really different back then. If you need help, no one will understand you plus they’ll probably be a little hostile because they don’t understand you.
