I’m afraid that you are behind the times with regard to the Welsh counties. Since April 1996, Wales has had 22 administrative areas, 11 counties and 11 county boroughs.
Anyway, I live in the county of Vale of Glamorgan. There is another addick and contributor to this forum who lives about 200 yards from me but I will let him speak for himself.
I'm afraid you are on the wrong thread. This is about historic counties. You need to be on the thread about "administrative counties of Wales".
I was confused because your English county list included such non historic counties such as The West Midlands, ( where I lived for a couple of years) Tyne and Wear, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
Clearly there are loads of interpretations, and I agree with you. If I lived in Middlesex I'd be pissed off by the list, and why does Bristol count as an historic county??
Anyway, Vale of Glamorgan...is that South, Mid or West Glomorgan?
The bit I live in is a few miles west of Cardiff and used to be in South Glamorgan.
Born in Kent, moved to SE London, then to Bristol for 25 years. Now moved to North Somerset (just outside Bristol boundary). Does that count as Bristol?
Born Nottingham. Grew up Orpington. Moved to Northamptonshire 33 years ago.
Might struggle to tick off Rutland given it's size, but I've been a member of a kayaking club there, got married there, and frequently visit as it's not far away if that helps!

I think we need to stick with primary residence...
Yeah, think you're right
After years of simply reading stuff on CL, I can't believe that my first post is about where I live.
