There is a very big difference

So I don't think these trad counties have any ceremonial existence any
more. Which means they are just causing confusion.
I live in London. The place I live in has been inb the county of
London since 1889. But the traditional county beast says I live in Surrey.
Then you will be familiar with the annual boat race between Oxford and
Cambridge universities, at the start of which they toss a coin to decide
who will row from the 'Surrey station' and who from the 'Middlesex
station'. These counties still have cultural significance today.
