Hi guys, I am looking for some affordable options, a storage service where I could directly mail the items to a destination (whether it be domestic or internationally)

I’m seeing conflicting information as to whether Barracuda still exists in Watford. I’ve been told it shut down, but it’s showing as open on Google, yet in another place it’s showing as permanently closed!

Can anyone please confirm?

Hello friends

I've recently been put in a position where I've been forced to move between hotels and couch surfing with friends in Watford. Had easily the worst month of my life with there being no indication of it getting better.

I've been looking around on SpareRoom as well as social media like FB and Reddit but is seems nigh impossible to find people to room with or share a flat.

I'm 27[M] and I am planning on getting back to work next week from being signed off for a bit which might be tricky with nowhere to live.

I'd appreciate any ideas or pointers. Hope you all have a lovely day.

I just drove down to Queen’s Road looking for Lewis B Comics, but it’s disappeared.

A bit of googling turned up nothing helpful - nothing listed or the high street or in the market. The closest seemed to be in St Albans.

I’m looking to buy a current issue of a comic, so wondered if there’s something I’m missing in Watford?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hello all, I work around Euston and am considering moving to a place near the Bushey train station. I tend to work late or go out some evenings, does anyone know what it's like getting back to Bushey from London after 1am at all?

Hi, I'm considering moving to Watford and trying to work out the commute price to check if it's worth it.

Does anyone know how much the travel would cost from Bushey using a train (not the overground) changing at Euston to Victoria and finishing at Green Park?

I know it sounds like a lazy question, but I wanted to see if I have to pay for the Train ticket + tube fare and I can't find it anywhere.

The nightlife on watford has completely finished. I remember Friday and Saturday nights in Watford Town center being packed all the clubs full. Where are people going now if not in Watford or is just people don't go out anymore?

Why are there always a bunch of single men, assuming uber drivers, in their cars camped on Stratford Rd?

Some seem to 'live' there inside their cars. Doesnt matter what time of day. Its clear they are not just waiting on standby for a new job. Over the past year, Ive always either seen them eat 3 course meals there, or blast out music, or watch movies on their phones on the steering wheel, or several of them gather around one car... often their cars get so steamy that Im not sure if its smoke or condensation? Is it allowed?

Neighbours say its the cost of living crisis and taxi drivers rotate between camp stops, like they have agreed a shared timetable of free parking... 😨 wtf it could be the plot of a distopian movie... instead of paying rent, you fight for your right to a free parking space...

Would rather those taxi drivers just go home, before something bad happens to someone! ...Hopefully, once they knock down the abandoned St Thomas' Church, this sort of unwelcome congregation also disappears!

So I've been on the hunt in off-licences and supermarkets in and around Watford for various Nitro Stouts (such as Beamish, Murphy's and London Black) and having no luck.

I'm after a pack or 2 for nostalgia sake as a young 'un it's what I used to drink and haven't had or seen them in years.

Have anyone spotted these in wild in their local can shop? or on draft at their local?

Cheers.

Hi all,

Does anyone know / have used someone they recommend to cut a rug down to size and whip the cut edge to fit the style of the rest of the rug?

I am celebrating another year in my life in the coming days... And since im too socially awkward, dont have any friends... Was thinking of lighting a cup cake and celebrate another year ahead.. Anyone know any good spots where may be i click a few pictures and have a seldom night... P. S. - not midnight but may be 10pm, since i know the risk is too high later night.

Anybody got any creepy or scary watford stories?

I want to hear the most insane stories of watford, as a Londoner who goes here sometimes. Please spill.

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if anyone may be around to help me deliver some furniture on Friday 20th?

I run a small business making seating for commercial spaces, (offices, schools etc), could really do with a hand delivering my next job.

Nothings particularly heavy, but as it’s currently just me on my own it’s a little too bulky.

Don’t need to drive or anything, essentially just help me load this end and unload the other end.

As work has been picking up, trying to find mates who can help out with a day off work etc is getting more and more difficult!

Thanks all, pop me a message if you fancy it and I can send you details and photos of what we’d be delivering etc.

EDIT: In case it wasn’t clear, this is of course a paid thing, nothing in life is free, that’s not how I run my business! Hope that clarifies 🙂

OK, this is gonna seen a bit weird but I'd love some more info before I die!

I know I had left school so it was at least 1979, and it was before I'd left home so it was no later than 1982.

I was walking home late at night and when I got to Exchange Road there were a load of idiots, at least 200, mostly dressed up in KKK hoods marching down the road. It was surreal and I ran home as quick as I could and ran back with my camera but of course they were all gone by then.

I told a few people at the time, but no one else I know was aware of it.

We do have a Nazi element nearby (sorry Oxhey, I'm thinking of you!). So I guess they were having an outing. In those days the streets were empty after around 10pm so they could do what they liked and no-one would notice.

Anyone else remenber this? Or were you involved and now regret it?

Saw a WO article on the new B&M in the Harlequin shopping centre. I was aghast to learn its in the old JL lot... A solid british staple department store replaced by a pound shop?

Surely this must be the most obvious death knell for watford 😨 Im just sad to see this town get strangled by chicken shops, now this. How do we opine on the type of stores we should have in our town???

I’m an international student who will be landing next month, I was checking for places to rent in Watford and I see very few options on Spareroom and other apps. Are there so less places available or am I not looking in the right place?

Please recommend where I can find rooms/apartments to rent in and around Watford as I only have a few days left to travel.

Hello everyone, I (29M) have just signed up for everyone active and was wondering if there is someone that is willing to adopt me as a gym buddy. I have little to no experience and was hoping someone could show me the ropes, so to speak. Alternatively, to go with someone that is in the same boat as myself, that may also be starting their gym experience. I struggle with motivation so I'm hoping this currently fictional character will help me pull up my socks and get into it properly.

TIA

Does any fish and chip shops in / around watford sell battered chips?

Title explains it all. Just looking for some sort of social club/activity around here to meet new people. I've looked on meetup.com but everyone on there seems a lot older.
