Aren't all boundaries, natural or artificial, in a sense "geographic"?
Sigh. For some reason, people think that previous government boundaries
are geographic, or somehow real, but current ones are not.
You get arguments like "Altrincham is administratively in Greater
Manchester, but it's geographically in Cheshire". Bizarre. What do
they think "Cheshire" is beyond an administrative or government concept?
An ethnic group. Whether this belief is correct or not, i cannot say.
