		The postal counties of England were traditionally required for postal addresses, although since 1996 the Royal Mail has indicated that it no longer formally requires their use, and will accept both the traditional and administrative counties.
		The postal counties broadly follow the traditional counties but there are many places where there are differences, such as Denham which is in both the traditional and administrative counties of Buckinghamshire but postally is in Middlesex.
		The London postal district is especially confusing because it does not conform to the boundaries of either the London County Council or the Greater London Council/Greater London Authority, while other parts of the Greater London administrative area are in the postal counties of variously Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Middlesex.

		Like the counties of England and Wales, Scottish counties have been redrawn, renamed, converted to regions and back to counties, and so forth; thus this list is more a curiosity than of any particular use in postal addressing, other than historical.

	Association of British Counties - Frequently asked questions
		ABC believes that the historic (or traditional) Counties of Britain are an important part of the history, culture and geography of the nation and that their identities deserve to be preserved and enhanced on that basis.
		At the very least these areas should be re-labelled "administrative counties" (as were their pre 1974 forbears) to make it clear that these are not replacement for the traditional Counties but, simply, administrative areas, defined for a narrow administrative purpose and not intended to have any wider geographical or cultural significance.
		The "county corporate" status has generally been seen as an extra dignity added to a town and has not usually been taken to mean that the town has literally been removed from its host County.

	Middlesex, England, UK
		It is one of the 39 historical counties of England.
		Towards the end of the period, many of the boroughs in the area were demanding independence from Middlesex County Council as county boroughs, which if granted would have left Middlesex County Council controlling an area with three distinct and unconnected fragments - in the west, the south-east and the north of the county.
		Royal Mail guidelines now leave the use on letters of the historic county, administrative county, or no county at all up to the personal preference of the addresser, and Middlesex is consequently commonly found on addresses outside the London postal districts (and sometimes, even within).
