What I love about Hertford
Just walked across Sele Farm - the worst part of Hertford - and my main thought was "**** me, it's cold" as opposed to "I hope I don't get mugged/stabbed".

You really should have put a coat on [:D]
Its a shame reputations stick.. esp bad ones. We have lived here since Aug 2002 and can honestly say we have never once thought about moving. The only problem really is lack of parking... but we all seem to manage.

Can't pinpoint what I love about that Town, just that I love it. Moved back from the 'Town down the road' a few years ago and haven't looked back.

For me it is just "home" so nowhere can touch it!

Sele Farm does look incredibly dodgy, but its not too bad.....Pinehurst is like a mini-Sele Farm tho!

I spent yesterday afternoon in Corby - it makes Sele Fm look like paradise.

Had a bit of a fun tour of the UK over he last few years. Dundee to St Austell and quite a few score places in between ( I’d like to mention East Kilbride….but I wont much & only to those who are up to being v bored for s couple of hours ).
Lots of great places – Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool (fantastic place) Glasgow & Edinburgh, - even Worthing & Preston have their moments .. well almost,
But, and it’s a big butt, there are loads of Towns /Cities in this country where the more (so called) dodgy areas of Hertford would be considered, by far, the better part of town. Try Reading for instance........
This Town aint bad & I do so love coming back to it ….

...after 36 years in West Belfast - Hertford is a doddle - I love the slower pace of life.

You are not wrong.
Reading is in the main, a horrendous place to live and I am bloody glad I am no longer in exile there...
