I like it.  I've just moved to a bigger house in Nascot Wood (2 mins walk 
from Watford Junction) and have found the area to be most agreable.   I 
used to live in a small house on a main road.  Too noisy.

Watford has several good restaurants, my favourite being St James in 
Bushey..  There are loads of bars in Watford High Street, most frequented 
by loud mouthed yobbos and drunk tarts..  Lots of loud music and shiny 
bar fittings..  Horrible.  There is however one excellent pub, Bar 
Bodega.  Excellent friendly service and incredible pizza.  A huge 
selection of beers and spirits. 

Watford is home to Cassiobury Park, great for walks throughout the year.  
Golf course too, if you are into dull sports.

I haven't been witness to any crime in the 16 years I've lived here, 
other than the prices of drinks in the trendywank bars... 

>  - to get to St Albans from by road / rail

Piss easy by road, it'll take about 20 mins.. Train service from Watford 
Juntion to St Albans Abbey station, though it mightn't be that convenient 
depending on where in St Albans you live.  Also, it is sunject to delays 
and cancellations..

>  - to get to London from by rail?

Again, piss easy..  I get the train every day..  Takes about 20 mins to 
Euston, tube can be a bit of a pain in the arse but6 in all, it takes 50 
mins from home to work (Bank station).

Any further questions, don't hesitate to ask..
