Which County is BRISTOL in these days? And, is it EDINBURGH Midlothian
(the old county) or EDINBURGH Lothian (the new region)?What happened to
those exceptions like MILTON KEYNES?


Counties are a historical oddity. Just addressing an envelope to
..... Bristol BSx xxx is sufficient.

In fact, the conurbation of Bristol might spread across multiple
counties. I don't know.

Bristol was part in Gloucestershire and part in Somerset. This may
have been unique. It was certainly unusual. For a time it was in Avon.
Now Bristol seems to be a County.
