Evening all,

Not related to transport, but a topic which flares up here now and then:

Oh, good. Perhaps it will finally persuade websites not to insist on a
county, which I find quite irritating when I've already given London as
the town/city name.



One possible problem is that some debit/credit card issuers still
insist on a county as part of their security requirements for online
payments. Some, not all.
