The example I usually give is the villages between Cambridge and the
Hertfordshire border (at Royston). It's of very little use if when you
search an estate agent's website for houses to buy,


Guess what often happens if you are in south London and look online
for things in "Croydon"?


It may suggest other Croydons, I expect.

Like the one near Royston, that's got a Hertfordshire address but is
geographically about five miles inside Cambridgshire.


That's the one.
