Phone Code[edit]

Borehamwood uses 020 as its phone dialing code - I know of no buisness or home user with any other code. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.4.65 (talk) 12:03, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Large Jewish population[edit]

The ONS gives the percentage of people who live in Borehamwood that are Jewish as 11.8 percent this is a very high percentage and is larger than all most everywhere else in the country apart from some parts of Manchester and London. However no mention of this is made in this article. See part 1 of this [1] go to the religion section and compare borehamwood's jewish population to everywhere else in the country if you need proof. I was gonna put this on this article but there is no suitable place. I may add a demography section and that info would fit in nicely there but need a good source for such a section which I could easily find. I just want to find out what users think of me adding this info or if there is any reason why it was not included before. Eopsid (talk) 18:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC) Jews are an ethnicity, not a religion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 (talk) 17:00, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Borehamwood experiences an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb) similar to almost all of the rest of the United Kingdom.[edit]

This is surely overkill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 18:54, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable people[edit]

Simon Cowell lives in Elstree, Gino D'Acampo lives in Elstree; the article says this, so why are they notable to Borehamwood? Please provide a compelling reason or remove them as this is otherwise incorrect. nick (talk) 21:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cowell is listed in the Elstree article, D'Acampo is not, but both should be removed from this one. — ᴀnemone ᴘroᴊecтors 11:32, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2021 census[edit]

EternalTempest, you've made a few references to a 2021 census, but didn't actually provide a source that guides readers to it. Please indicate where you're seeing this information. -- Fyrael (talk) 20:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
