Where I am is generally regarded, especially by the news, as Greater London. Less than one mile away is the Surrey boundary. As my postal address is Surrey, that's what I am going with.

I got the message about updating my county. However, I live in Glasgow, it's not in any county but I don't have the option to list it as a county.

Would Lanarkshire cover you for now?

I've gone with Buckinghamshire although I believe MK is a metropolitan borough these days - as well as the City of Dreams !

Born in Stafforshire, lived in the West Midlands for 6 years without moving house before moving house back to Staffordshire.

You know there are 'ceremonial' and 'administrative' counties, as well as postal ones and for all I know, other kinds, many using the same names and different boundaries?

Someone posted a good video of the the different type of Counties on Fetch's blog. I believe Fetch went with a specific list so there's no overlap in the type.

In the list Fetch used I'm West Midlands, in other lists I'd be Warwickshire.

Where are you SPR? I'm the same... Postal address and post town is Warwickshire but I pay council tax to West Mids. My life centres around my nearest town which is in Warwickshire so I'm going with that!

Got something to say?

Now I can’t find a reference to it again so I might be making this up but…

Just had a notification to update my county ahead of a new game / challenge.

Went to do it on my profile and there isn’t anything I can pick!

Live in North Somerset (not there), thought maybe Bristol (not there) and going even further back you’d pick Avon (… not there).

So any suggestions? Or what it will be utilised for?

Thanks :)
