Martin,
Yes, you have me even more confused. I asked someone last
week how to list an Ireland location. Not wanting to risk

Cathy,
The best advice I can give anyone when entering UK is to completely forget

some towns, some villages. If you are

Sorry, that is only
It is probably best to forget the idea of four words to describe a place. In
the English scheme you tend to use country (useful if sending to people in

I am in the process of changing my locations concepts.
So for non-USA places, I am using, in general, Country, Province/County,

Windsor Castle, Windsor, Berkshire, England
That one is simple enough, Windsor Castle is in Windsor, which is in
Berkshire (shire not county).It is not in London, it is not in Greater
