Romford

[Azhriaz369]

In 80s Romford, you couldn't move for fantastically fit blondes, gorgeous but gobby geezers and some of the best fashion shops around. It's a complete craphole now.

[TheCandymakesmecrazy]

romford :)))))

[MVwebslave]

I love it

[PeteyC66]

Ah you can't beat good old Romford.

[MisterDri01]

could anyone please tell me what the background song/soundtrack is called? i've also heard it on tv as well and i've been looking everywhere for it!

[gadgetmandb]

Brilliant, love the sound track

[MrHewitt123]

I think the best part of living in romford is the FINE drainage system!

[MrsJosephMerrick]

The music and the speakover are VERY Pythonesque I think....I had to laugh!!!! :)

[drpoxy]

Excellent stuff ! - thanks for uploading.

[vicpur]

Born and raised in Romford. Escaped in 1973 to New Zealand. Will be back for 4 weeks in 7 days time.

Will I notice any differences?

[ViralVidsBest]

THUMBS UP FOR BOB'S FRUIT STALL :D

[rapiddy94]

theres a place worse than romford and harold hill combined! its called dagenham, where you get the inbred chavs, on benefits, in their council houses, that mug youngers. haha romford maybe a shit'ole. but dagenham is on another level of shite!

[undisputed1972]

Terrific vid. With regard to the older posts, yes Romford is in London and not Essex. Anything you've read that says different is incorrect.

[Rom3FlowMasterminds]

I live in Romford and this is just halarious!!!!! =D

[toriabieber]

Romfords actually alright, whoever made this is obviously bald. 

[leanneDCfan]

@toriabieber init i like it,...i dont no why loads of people are being so mean about it and calling it chavvy

[XstationTV]

Romford isn't bad at all. There are plenty of shops and it isn't filled with foreigners like Ilford and Barking.

[MissPip100]

I live in Romford and it isn't scummy... well, parts of it are, but the majority of it is quite posh... you are thinking of Barking! And we don't live on any council estate.

[bonsobonga]

This clip is the "Bees Knees" . A lovely bit of info for those not in the know. I was born in Olchurch Hospital so I am an ontroponher about this subject.. Took my son down the market in 2005 & he loved the teatowels. Could yap for hours but must be off. Lots more please if you feel inclined. AAA++++

[aut0pil0t]

Ive lived in Romford all my life. Call my racest but there are more and more black people each year that hang around the town center and the bus station, and with more black people comes more trouble. But as i said, call me racest if you want, im just making an educated observation.

[purebeaut]

lool what a crap video obvsli u make a video that dull and depressing anywhere would look unwelcoming but its not that bad

[graham6824]

Romfords better than Bedford, Luton, Belfast, Ipswich, Norwich, Liverepool, Glasgow & I know because I've lived in them all

[KimGirlx]

Its shit - but i love it.♥

[MrThesuperboy]

1:32 should say "Welcome to scumfested romford"

[WACIProductions]

yer but i live in romford

[southcountryboy8]

A bit harsh. I'd say Romford sits in the middle - there are far better places to live but also far worse. It's also reasonably safe, despite what people have said below. Muggings are certainly unheard of.

[paddybond]

@southcountryboy8 i have been mugged before down romford by a bunch of blacks :(

[ASBOMAN]

I'm from Scotland and was staying at a friends house down in Romford for a couple of days in July.

It seemed ok to me tbh. Or maybe i just stay in a shithole...

[seyver98]

Love the vid. I drove over an hour to this shit hole thinking straight away I thought what a dump, Best part of the day was leaving lol

[romfordtony]

Its not such a bad place to live despite the best efforts of Havering Council

[0shae0]

Romford Rocks.. lived there for 36 years born n bred,,, everything you want straight or dodgy lol

loadsa pubs clubs.. house prices from 150k to 3mil +..

LUV ROMFORD

[chalkyboy180]

I've also lived there all my life so I have the right to say its a fucking shithole!

[emmalogie]

Tally ho you ol' bastards, been here all my life and it's all I need.

[torrentANONYMOUScodc]

@emmalogie thats right, mate. be proud of ho you are n where youre from no matter what. fuck the haters innit

[Dovito28]

[celinedionrules]

its on the fucking edge of london which means it not london twats!

[mrhappydudes]

its use to be on the edge but was made a brough of london (havering)aswell as dagenham and barking

FACT

[tomgoldrick]

Essex postcode

FACT

[cuthbertson]

i agree lol people u reli need to stop begin if u dont live in n-nw-sw-se-e-w postcodes cuz anywhere other than them aint london it clearly states in ur adress lol

[yourmumisadick]

its greater london durk head

[tomgoldrick]

rather be part of essex than east london tho tbh. east london is the biggest shit hold in the whole of UK (except liverpool or newcastle maybe)

[clivehere]

RM12

its essex not london its only a london borough cos its under 15 miles 4rm charing cross. thts the same reason why it has the metropolitan police. look it up. i did.

[kamb77]

Classic. You managed to get most of the crappiest parts of the town into your vid...

[JKLvideos95]

RM1 bruv

[Tetrix03]

what's the deal about romford? is it a cool place or is it very unsecure?

[Lyricaldon]

Romford is in Essex you bell end!

[natussia00]

mieszkałaaam taaam ;]

[Zoeslaterz]

romford's not in essex, we don't want nothing to do with ya :D

[southcountryboy8]

Romford is part of Greater London, and has been since 1964.

It doesn't matter if you say it's not - the fact is, it is.

The borough is served by London Transport buses, Metropolitan Police, has an MP on the London Assembly..... the only link it has to Essex is that it USED to be part of the county 50 years ago!

But that was when Stratford, West Ham and Leyton were also part of Essex. Things change.

[yidosboy]

All what you say is true, except that it is in essex. I was born in Rush green hospital, when it was there and my passport says essex (i was born in 84. The addresses in romford state quite clearly, Romford, Essex, RMxx. The phone dialling code is 01708, again essex. Romford F.c play in the essex senior league. It's the same for Dagenham, except the area code there is 0208, which is greater london. But the addresses are still essex.

[thfcyido07]

harold hill wot famm blud rm3 wot fam !!

[harrylime22]

eh ?

[Lyricaldon]

haha what does that even mean?

[friendlysquirrel]

romfords the capital of essex its where the real people live!

[VampireSaviour]

Nope, Harold Hill.

[mpat1980]

that actually makes it look nice there. you forgot romford's two main things- slags and fights. and one more thing romford is DEFINITELY NOT LONDON

[VampireSaviour]

lol, you forgot to mention that it's the slags doing the fighting mostly.

For some reason, "some" people in Romford seem to think that Romford is London, but they're all mistaken, I think they get confused because the London travel system (buses/trains) takes part in Romford also, personally I know that people who think Romford is London are retarded (my ex for instance).

[mpat1980]

was she from billyricky or sarfend?

[VampireSaviour]

Romford is full of retards, Harold Hill has the weirdest retards in the Romford area (the bigest retard is a guy called John "who works in the Harold Wood co-op" and his dimwit looking cousin Jason). The best part of Romford is the train station, and followed very closely by the train out of there (though everyone else has the same idea of leaving).

[exoarhidia]

Romford used to be a nice place for shopping etc does anyone remember a club in Romford called Friar TUCKS . Shame the quality of the film is so bad.

[cheeseburger71]

fuck you very much

[mrandrew89]

lol romford is quite a shithole, as is most of havering.

but we still love it.

[baloothebear2]

Great vid m8. Born Romford 1957,(Oldchurch hosp) moved more rural 1999 but still in essex.Love the place, people genuine streets clean,police friendly and helpful,no drugs there, everybody works hard, lowest unemployment anywhere, market historic, great for shopping. harold hill a bit posh for my liking.Good night clubs, pubs and restaurants.- Love the place. A role model town.

[Dalbs1982]

Harold Hill hahaha! Thats just one big shit hole. Most people are on the doll or claiming benefits. Love their council houses. Proper shit hole. You could pick that place up and drop it in Iraq and it would fit in!

[toriabieber]

@Dalbs1982 LOL at you... You would'nt last a minute down here - you know fuck all !

[7westerman]

@Dalbs1982 u tosser

[Dorito649]

harold hill more like scum hill!

romford is a shit whole! but i love it!!!

RM1..... 4EVA!

[mmarrcuus]

romford is just full of doll scum chavs prehaps if they had better education and 2 paretns who wernt claiming benefits there kids would come out half decent. and harold hill is just the weirdest place its just full of inbreds.

[viper2263]

[djm478]

This is such a hoot! Good work. Please make more. But I am a bit scared. I am a Yank going to visit old friend in Romford area. These comments about it...don't know whether to laugh or cry! Can't be that bad, eh? Anyway, brilliant work, 'loobfilms'.

[0wnt1991]

[cheeseburger71]

ah that was great i agree romford tiz shite for it has been fortold.

[swede42]

this is great! I've gone shopping in Romford from Ilford. A bit of new construction around the mall, but I'd say this vid sums it up pretty well.

[L0rM]

lolll not as bad as Watford mind.

[Kinky20]

hahah this was great i live in romford well. not in the centre . but its still part of my address unfortunately lmao. i agree with u its just full of chavs who go down the station or in the brewery on a friday night cos they are not old enough to do anything and just make this town a hole!!.

[vinnylongtime123]

haha top notch mate! i go romford alot now n its the complete truth.  just a meetin point for chavs and ruuude boyz nowadays.

[eventideim]

Left Romford 6 months ago, hope never to go back there! It used to be ok, but now it's just a hole.

[sgtwhiplash]

fuckin hate the chavs that pick on us metalheads for no fuckin reason but i love it when they think theyre well hard and they flop in one hit lol

[sky04169]

Moved becouse of your sooo true betrayal but you did miss the wonderfull night life lol

[celinedionrules]

by tha waii i agaree with wat u fink of rommy (local name) i wish it wazz differnt

[slinkyskunk]

I'm from neighbouring Hornchurch, and can attest to the validity of the director's observations.

Sorry, I meant omg u r funny lololol!!111

[mitchymagic]

Excellent depiction ! Shame you missed the nighlty fights , stabbings and p*ssed up chavs drving their lowered corsa's around !

[sammiewammy76]

Great Video, I moved from Romford 4 yrs ago after spending 25 yrs of my life there. How it has gone down hill! At least its not as bad as Dagenham I guess lol !!!!

[theparkey]

I am from romford and its shite!!! nuff said...good vid though man made me chuckle!

[faithnomorelondon]

All the illiterate chav scum that live in Romford have given it a bad name, i grew up there and the older generation are good as gold. I say get them all out to the coast to chill out then nuke the fuckin hole. I get a lot of stick from almost everyone i meet when i tell them where i grew up but i reckon the good ones leave. Why would you stay?

[ALFIESPLACE]

haha spot on i know were to park my car now

[Beelovesthisshit]

I've been told a lot of awesome things about Romford, but this video showed none of it. Just buildings and cars and roads. Sorry dude but maybe you should have shown a more social part of romford too.

[dollymollydoll]

make sure u do not go to skl or colage,work on september the 11th send this to evry 1 u no make sure u do not go

[steviebessex]

That pretty much sums up Romford

[celinedionrules]

k im sozz 4 wat i said its acturly a funni video and i lernt a lot of facts about carparks and plz i no im dumb but plz dnt go on about it. sozz again

[kingberry123]

settle it its over the man made a movie bout romford for a joke cause he was bored and it offended people END OFF

[sminky74]

Celinedionrules ~ you've made your point, with great eloquence I must stay. You don't agree with the film and you've had the reason why the film was made explained to you a number of times now. It's just a light hearted view of somewhere the film maker lived for years (I'm his wife by the way) I lived there for 30 years too. It's just a bit of fun!!!!!

[chewbobba]

TRANSLATION FOR THE HARD OF SCHOOLING:-

JOKE! evry1 av tings in yr hood dat makeus go 'WTF?' It jus a pistake. Ok

[chewbobba]

ITS A JOKE! We all have things we see about where we live that make us ask 'Why?' It's just observational sarcasm (1 million Essex dwellers start Googling 'observational sarcasm'. While your there, look up 'irony' too).

[celinedionrules]

right letss settle this ,this film wernt taking the piss outa romford and this bloke is frm essex right??

[chewbobba]

Oh dear. I hate to tell you this, but the more you go on the more you maintain the myths about Essex girls. You question has already been answered, so lets rephrase- filmmaker-'lived in Essex' -past tense. He left. Why? Wasn't happy with the place-obviously! So why not take the rise? What the hell is worth being so defensive about in Essex?

[loobfilms]

Basic facts - I made the film, lived in Romford for 30 years, wife from the area.......I'm now thinking about making another parody (under 'P' in the dictionary)about Romford, you would be the perfect lead in it......have fun in Romford, remember, its got more parking space than Luton and Croydon combined!

[celinedionrules]

no mate uv got the wrong idea i liv there so y would i let u take the piss outa romford!!!!!!!!

[kinberry987]

whats da bludy point of dis video jus to angry peeps

[sminky74]

Erm, it's meant to be a joke!!!!

[sminky74]

I'm going to sound all "teachery" but it's This video not dis and its the not da!! Just and not jus.

[loobfilms]

Point of video = parody

Angry = Lack of sense of humour

Smile - its doesn't hurt (unless you have just had dentistry)

[chewbobba]

Oops. Okay, that was a bit harsh. Sorry, just seen celinedionrules is only 13 (aah bless), and cullen25 is actually listed as being from Australia, so I guess they are just misguided. Should be regarded as unfortunate rather than scolded! Just like to say guys, that I know this film maker actually lived in Essex, so it IS also a little self-depricating and observational.

[cullen25]

LoL actually i lived there for 5 years.

ROMFORD RULES

[chewbobba]

Poor, poor Ludwigshaven. Twinned with a place that has a general populace that can only type in phone text and loves Celine Dion, confuses butchers equipment with Intelligence Quotas (Very cleaver?)and is so defensive over the toilet it lives in that it doesn't recognise irony. No love, that doesn't mean I need another shirt doing. Keep up the comments, chavs. You are so funny!

[celinedionrules]

wtf??

[celinedionrules]

if u think ur cleva im frm romford wat u gonna do??? and so wat if essex galz r famous get 2 no us b4 u take the piss out of us!!!!

[loobfilms]

I'm bloomin married to one! Picked her up driving the loop round the one way system - lovely go-er (the Escort not the wife)

[cullen25]

Didi you get a knock back from one of the famous Essex ladies? u feel u need to try to make a pisstake video of Romford

Very cleaver

[enfiladdde]

Dude, tone the filter down a smidge. I'll have you know romford has a Starbucks now, and an array of banks.

[JeffCeSoir]

This was made to make Romford look bad?> If only it was this mundane.

[m4pk]

super:D love it! <eat looool?>

[xxlilmidgexx]

haha funni stuff

[goodgollymisslolly]

oh how i wish i didn't live here

[freethinker01]

A little disappointed that you didn't catch or even mention the VAST amount of CHAVS in Romford. For those of you who don't know, Romford is a town comprised of essentially CHAVS who buy a three quid 1978 Vauxhall Nova, spend £2000 taking the word "Vauxhall" off of it, £500 on neon lights and another grand or so on a speaker system and drive "very slowly" and loudly around town. Approximately 92% of Romfordians are the above the other 8% cant spell the word "above".

[fishboy1prozac0]

Ah Romford my home town, you have captured it well

[djinstructor]

Oh the nastalga of it all!

Would you believe it, I actually made a film in Ludwigshaven for the school i was at!

Bring back the fountain thats what I say!

[loobfilms]

Hey those fountains were special! They were the only fountains where more money was taken out than thrown in....ha ha
