Borehamwood in general

what can i say? lived in borehamwood all my life so i'm not just having a dig at it from my ivory tower but...i left school in the late eighties and it wasn't such a bad place then...but that was an era when many girls thought that having a child at fifteen was a good idea, and let's face it, we are reaping what we have sown... because all of those illegitimate late eighties sprogs (the shazza's and chelle's)have turned into the cheap tracksuit attired scum we usually find ploughing shenley rd with a brace of bull terriers on a saturday lunch time...the sort of youngster that thinks if he/she can watch x factor and afford a carrier bag of cut price "uri geller" ...  Read the complete review

Having spent the weekend dog-sitting at my parents I felt it appropriate to share a review of the town i grew up in.. the one, the only BOREHAMWOOD. Now Borehamwood gets a bad press. The two available reviews on Dooyoo paint a very negative picture of my home town, so I thought a balanced review of Borehamwood might be in order.

I am very lucky to be writing this opinion on the basis that I work in Borehamwood, and do not live here, I don’t even live in the county, and if Borehamwood is anything to go by, thankgod for that!!! Boringwood as we call it is the capital of the uk when it comes to unemployment, crime, pollution and long queues in McDonalds. Located in south Herts, on the border with the London borough of Barnet, you might be fooled into thinking it is an attractive area, wrong! Calling this place a dump is a compliment; it’s more like a war-zone. Watford is a few minutes drive away, and if you’ve got any sense, then that’s were most people ...  Read the complete review
