How is Watford not North London?????????

The Costco is literally 500yards from junction 5 of the M1 if I am correct.... Preety easy for all to get to...

The car park is huge and empty at night and provides an excellent skid pan!!!!

This car is going to lose me my license one day. I LOVE IT!!!

Burning the tyres in a car park is not my idea of fun

Also, should Watford be considered as part of London? To me, places outside the Circle Line is not really London

Because it's Watford, Hertfordshire
Last time I looked London stopped at Harrow Weald and didn't contine further north
...and I don't think my MINI would appreciate a few donoughts in the Cosco carpark. Too downmarket, she'll grace nothing but Waitrose carparks

Talking London or not settled

Being a Watfordian born and bred (no "poor you" jokes please! ) and having loads of family still living around there, I can end all of this by letting you know that Watford is NOT part of London

Although since I moved away the locals do sound more and more like Londoners every time I visit, not one place in Watford or its immediate surrounding areas has an actual London postcode, therefore they aren't in London

If you want to be really boring (and I don't really but I'll say it anyway ), London itself is only 1 square mile in area within the suburbs and is a fair way from Watford!

All this said and having established that it isn't London, it is bloody close to London and extremely easy to get to and would make an ideal place for a meet!!!!!

Wish I could come

Cheers,

Dodgeress xx

As i set this thread going i think it should be me too judge!I think Enfield is the best place to have a North london mini meet. There are plenty of big car parks and also lots of pubs too!

Who agrees?

Hang on....isn't the point that Watford Costco is a stones throw from the M1 so dead easy to get to from North London. Enfield means a combination of North Circular, local roads and the dreaded M25!!

Could someone with the techno savy do a poll with both options ...........Obviously I will travel to wherever!

Thanks
