use of counties in UK addresses is unusual compared with other
territories and inconsistent. E.g. So many postal towns now longer
need to be qualified by a county.

Surely, counties are not needed at all on postal addresses ?
All I usually give is

Persun's Name
xxx StreetName
postcode


It is a while since I have seen a Royal Mail Manual covering the
subject. It used to state that Counties are required followed the Post
Town with exceptions. The list of exceptions was very long.

states that Counties are no longer required if the Postcode is present.
