The house is in Gloucestershire. RM say it is in Chepstow, which is in Wales, but according to RM this bit of Chepstow is in Glocs. >> (by the way, I picked this address arbitrarily from the internet.

Which just emphasises how confusing it all is. Peterborough is not in Cambridgeshire from an administrative perspective - it's a Unitary Authority, within the Ceremonial County of Cambridgeshire which lives on in people's minds and through the office of Lord Lieutenant. So is your aunt's house in Norfolk, Peterborough or Cambridgeshire? The answer is "all of the above" - it depends on your perspective. -- Mike. @millomweb [2] - For all your info on Millom and South Copeland via THE AREA'S PREMIER WEBSITE - CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO ONGOING HARASSMENT OF ME, MY FAMILY, PROPERTY & PETS T&Cs [3] > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [1] Links: ------ [1] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging [2] https://sites.google.com/site/millomweb/index/introduction [3] https://sites.google.com/site/pmailkeey/e-mail
