I recently came across an e-commerce site that required one to
select a county from a drop down list, a list which resolutely
contained no reference to London, and wondered whether the
proprietor had designed it as such deliberately...

Living in Cambridge I'm always irritated by sites that require a
county, since no one writes "Cambridge, Cambs." - but at least
Cambridgeshire is normally offered as an option!

If I get a site insisting on a County I tend to put "X". I've not been
refused yet.

Bit hard when it's not in the drop-down list though.

Yes, but I don't remember hitting that stupidity yet, not when entering a
London address anyway.
