Line 32:
Middlesbrough is in its old traditional county of North Yorkshire, even though it hasn't been part of North Yorkshire County Council since the 1970s. Conversely, Liverpool is in the county of Merseyside, which was only created in the 1970s.
I'm going to change the column to show present-day administrative counties, which means all Unitary Authorities will not have a county. If someone wants to make it entirely old traditional counties (for example Liverpool in Lancashire), I'm content, although I can't wait to see what they do with Bristol. But the current column has to change because it is inconsistent. ([[User:Chorleypie|Chorleypie]] ([[User talk:Chorleypie|talk]]) 22:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC))
:The intention is that the County column contains current ceremonial counties where there is no county council. Hence Middlesbrough comes under North Yorkshire as well as the North East region. Strictly speaking the table is a list of official codes for current administrative areas, so no actual need for a county column but it might help casual readers to distinguish Wyre from Wyre Forest etc. I might add a note to make this clearer (as well as restoring the sortable columns which someone removed). So please don't amend the counties unless you find a mistake. [[User:Sussexonian|Sussexonian]] ([[User talk:Sussexonian|talk]]) 19:17, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
