	BBC - Somerset - So Somerset - Avon: the name that refuses to die
		I much prefer them to Avon County, but they are the size of county districts and have their own councils and unitary authority status and are only considered parts of their original counties for ceremonial purposes.
		Avon was never a county in the true sense, it was just an organisation which delivered public services but used the term County Council which is where the confusion all began.
		Admittedly some ‘civil service’ bureaucrats decided to invent the County of Avon in 1974 (the year after we celebrated its 600th anniversary) that was supposed to include Bristol but I always refused to recognise this as I believe only the Queen would have sufficient authority to repeal Bristol’s status.
