they say time travel is impossible, but everyone who travels abroad will do some time travelling........
for instance if you go to france you have already travelled one hour into the future
spain two hours etc etc ...so dont say you cannot travel in time

You did not travel into the future, you remained in the present. Time in that sense, hours and minutes, is not a real tangible idea. It is a system used to allow us to function in everyday life. It is a way for us to universal maximize the amount of sunlight we get. All you did was travel to a part of the world were it has yet to recieve more sun, or has already recieved it (depending on which way you traveled).
As far as real time travel, to be on the same spot of dirt after it has rotated around the sun, making full revolutions in a matter of moments, if it was possible, why has noone ever come from the future to tell us how to do it.

Check out NewScientist on the net, for up to date info on research which says time travel IS probably possible. But then again ,scientists...!
As another answerer has said there are different viewpoints, on whether time actually exists at all. Eg: the past is just memories ( patterns in the brain ,prehaps), and the future is only ideas based on those memories (more patterns).
Or we can look at the many worlds theory,which is a possible explanation for observed and predicted sub-atomic effects. One version of this holds that there is a world for every possibility, and that we,as concious beings manifest only in worlds containing conciousness,and a set of patterns that give the impression of a future and a past, although the world itself is more of a multi dimensional snap shot.
So time travel happens every time we experience a different world. Question is "what travels ?"

actually this is incorrect, all you are referring to are "time zones". and technically, time zones are man made, they only exist to help keep everyone on time.
Now if you want to understand real time travel, two atomic clocks are set to precisely the same time, they are more accurate than any other clock in the world, down to the pico second. One stays on earth, the other goes up in the shuttle and circles the earth at 17,500mph for a few weeks. When the shuttle crew returns, their clock is slower, by a few seconds, as compared to the clock which remained on earth. Because they were travelling faster (relative to Earth), they experienced time more slowly. This is the theory of relativity. And this really happens.

Of course time travel is possible! it's just a matter of tying up the loose odds n ends, many they may be, but we will of course achieve it.
we are able to transfer objects from one place to another right now, ok so you need a base to send the item to, but how long will it be before we have one in space, then we will not need rockets for transport you will be transported via this means.
hey then ordinary post will definately be snail mail.

No time travel happens all the time, it is just not a case of being like DR Who

You are of course assuming that time is real rather than a convenience we created. Its a perspective, not the reality. An alternate view might get you an "alternate reality" and that time travel you desire.

You haven't travelled in time at all you have just changed your position on earth in relationship to the sun.

Hardly!
Relative to the local time at your point of departure time continues at a constant rate.
Just because you visit a country with GMT+1, it's not the future.

I love chatting about his subject, but ive already started drinking for the Uk football match, so its not the time or place (no pun intended)
It is possible in theroy. but we cannot prove it conclusively. We have however taken atomic clocks aboard space rockets and proven to have slowed down time 'relativly' speaking from a point of view from earth.

Throw a clock out of your window. Then you'l SEE time travel!
