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 has long (as in long before Avon) been a City and County.
