Aah I see... similar with Coventry which was part of the fine county of Warwickshire, but is now in the 'West Midlands', or is it even its own administrative borough now, who knows/cares...? If speculation is to be believed, it may soon become part of "Greater Birmingham" (sod that).

Happy new year yourself Pete, maybe see you at one of the local races.... LMV, Cardingmill, South Mynd Tour...
