Time traveller, is he?


(for m.t.u-t'ers, Middlesex hasn't existed for 44 years)


It exists. The Local Government Act abolished only its council.

Wrong. Derby is still in the ceremonial council of Derbyshire, and the
ceremonial country of Greater Manchester still exists and contains all
the GM boroughs despite the county council's abolition - but the
ceremonial county of Middlesex was abolished at the same time as
Middlesex County Council.
