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.


You could settle for SX.
