Watford i/ˈwɒtfərd/ is a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England, situated 18 miles (29 km) northwest of central London and within the bounds of the M25 motorway. The borough is separated from Greater London to the south by the urbanised parish of Watford Rural in the Three Rivers District.
Watford was created as an urban district under the Local Government Act 1894, and became a municipal borough by grant of a charter in 1922. The borough had 79,726 inhabitants at the time of the 2001 Census. The most recent official estimates put the population of Watford at 79,600 at mid-2006.
The nearby areas of Croxley Green, Bushey, Rickmansworth, Chorleywood, Kings Langley, Abbots Langley, Carpenders Park and South Oxhey, located in Three Rivers and Hertsmere districts, also form part of the Watford postcode area. The Watford subdivision of the Greater London Urban Area, which includes much of the neighbouring districts, had a total population of 120,960 in the 2001 census.
Watford stands on a low hill near the point at which the River Colne was forded by travellers between London and the Midlands. This route, originally a pre-Roman trackway, departed from the ancient Roman Watling Street at Stanmore, heading for the Gade valley and thence up the Bulbourne valley to a low and easily traversed section of the Chiltern Hills near Tring. The modern High Street follows the route of this road.

IT'S SIX O'CLOCK ON THE DOT AND I'M HALF WAY HOME
I FEEL FOUL MOUTHED AS I STAND AN WAIT FOR THE UNDERGROUND
AND A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOES'NT AGREE WITH THIS
I NEED SOMETHING TO REMIND ME THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE
YOU NEED A HOLIDAY SOMEWHERE IN THE SUN
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WAITING THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE ONE
SAY SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING ELSE
ADVERTISMENTS ARE HERE FOR RAPID PERSUASION
IF YOU STARE TOO LONG YOU LOOSE YOUR APPETITE
A NERVOUS DISPOSITION DOESN'T AGREE WITH THIS
YOU NEED FAST RELIEF FROM ACHES AND STOMACH PAINS
De Here had deze keer weer eens genomen
En met grote droefenis hadden wij kennis gegeven
En vertrokken wij om twee uur van het sterfhuis
In de volgauto's zwijgend de mannen
Iets van aartsvaders hadden ze, hoewel de meesten
Toch maar gewoon kantoorbedienden waren
Daarna onder troosteloze hoeden de vrouwen
In het volle ornaat van de trieste frigiditeit
Die recht op een stoel in de hemel geeft
Maar waarom reed daarachter nu
Dat rode autootje
Met die luidzingende Chinees
(S. Wongraven/Ny Trad.)
(Instrumental)
