Answer 2

Sorry to disappoint you, but they change - frequently. If the people currently in power think that moving a county boundary will alter the resuilt of a local election, they do it. I have a very good friend who lives in Oxfordshire according to the people who collect the trash, Northamptonshire according to the people who deliver the mail and the phone company refuses to believe that she exists.

Take a look here -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England/County - and see what a complex area this is! There are likely to be mre changes in the next few years as 'local government reorganisation' bites again.

Look here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_Wales for the Welsh version and if you're very keen look here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_%28Scotland%29 - for Scotland. Oh, and not forgetting Northern Ireland - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Northern_Ireland

Hope this helps!
