Why UK Watford is One of the Most Industrious Places on Earth...

The Financial Times publishes more evidence of why Watford's Great Work Ethic makes the town one of the most industrious places in the world. If you live here, it is something inculcated early on. For example, after delivering morning newspapers, my first Saturday job, aged 13, was as a potato boy working for Brown's greengrocers in Watford Market. I would be picked up from the bottom of my road at 0400 by Len and Chris Brown, driven to London's Covent Garden vegetable wholesale market (now fancy wine bar territory), load up the lorry with fresh produce, be fed tea and a bacon roll, then return to help set up the open air market stall. My great memories of this time are only jolted by the fact that the older boys would often pin me down atop the sacks of potatoes in the storage area out back, take off my Doc Martin boots and tickle my feet. Otherwise that Great Watford Work Ethic has kept me employed ever since!

    The Wonderful Town of Watford

    The Borough of Watford personifies the very best of what England has to offer. As one of the most densely populated towns outside of London the 91,000 inhabitants of Watford are a melting pot of almost every nationality or ethnic group that lives in the UK. Gary grew up in Watford until he was 14 when his parents debunked to Greenwich, CT USA (See The TOB Rule 1: Play Ball). He returned 4 years later and, although well-travelled, has called the town 'Home' ever since.
