As a lifelong resident of England, and involved in politics for a lot of them, could someone tell me what on earth a Supercounty is? OK the County boundaries were all shunted around in 1973 and then tinkered with again in 1990s so the PM could reinstate Rutland and, to some extent bring back the Yorkshire Ridings. But whatb else have I missed?

A new atlas I had purchased had them instead of the counties, and here in the states we don't always get news bites on this type of stuff. I also have both Channel Islands and Isle of Man, which makes even more confusion. I will ignore the SC for now.

Let's wait a few years to see if they stick. The politicians are always playing silly b's with these things.
