Dangerous Hertford Town at night

Apart from an allergy to alcohol, at what point does someone think, "Do you know what? I am going to ram someone's head through a shop window"? Is the town getting more violent after closing time?

More violent than when? Officially, crime figures are down. Since Zeros closed, my wife feels safer on Friday and Saturday nights.

The only violence that occurs in Hertford is i belive only when either The Blackbirds or the Stone House chuck out, This is where all the twats younger generation drink and as we wall know once they have had a couple of shandys they want to fight the world.

A spokesman for Herts Police said: "It took place at 1.10am on Friday morning January 23. What appears to have happened is a man has damaged the window whilst in a drunken state. He was given a fixed penalty notice, which was a fine of £80. The Police dont mention anyone's head being rammed through a shop window , more Hertford Chinese whispers ?

Statistically, you are at low risk of attack, despite every mother's warning. Males aged 16-24 are most commonly assaulted, normally by males aged 16-24.[;)]

Didn't want to mention it after returning home Friday night in case my getting home safely was a fluke. Met a bunch of friends in town and I walked home with one friend afterwards without any trouble. I wanted to adopt a scientific approach to the question raised so I (rather easily) convinced myself to repeat the test on Saturday night. Thus I found myself going out to a party tonight and this required drinking in town and afterwards getting a taxi home, via several stop-offs. I am happy to report that I experienced no problem at all in town or at the taxi-rank. I have to conclude that, apart from the odd immature a***-hole that is to be seen up and down the country, then Hertford does not appear to be at risk of LA-style gang-warfare.
