The Royal Mail has deprecated the use of counties in addressing. The PAF
(Postcode Address File) no longer contains counties. 

In any case, I think you are only talking about "postal counties" which
are only a fictional concept anyway. Is Bromley in Kent? Is Uxbridge in
Middlesex? Only in the past. Administratively they are both in London.
