Slightly ot - old and new counties   
What's brewing dropped through the letter box yesterday and as ever there's 
a report from Cask Marque about additions and deletions to their members.

I noticed yesterday that they do use the new (ie post 1974) list of counties 
as Merseyside and Greater Manchester get a mention.

However  there are inconsistencies there  - at first glance there is one 
addition in Greater Manchester .  However, further investigation reveals 
that the Cheshire list include two more - one in Stalybridge and one in 
Cheadle Hulme, and that the Lancashire entries include one in Wigan, one in 
Leigh and one in Bromley Cross.

I'm not bothered which list they use but I do think they should be 
consistent.

Is it to do with postal addresses? Belvoir Castle for example is in
Leicestershire , it's address is Grantham, Lincolnshire and it has a
Nottingham postcode.
