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.
