[Talk-GB] 'historic' county boundaries added to the database

[Andrew Black]

There is a very big difference

- ceremonial counties exist now and so are in scope for OSM.  As you say
here are differences between them and admin counties when unitary
authorties are involved
 - traditional counties are an attempt to recreate the past
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.
