Being from Yorkshire, I know this... A riding is a third... There have never
being 4 ridings however, East Riding disappeared for a while and became
Humberside then Humberside was renamed back to East Riding. People also use
the county names North Yorks. West Yorks and South yorks which vaguely map
the ridings where South yorks is West Riding, a bit or North Yorks is East
Riding and North Riding is West yorks and a bit of Notrh Yorks...

Also if you read the page carefully, it mentions it lists cities in the
counties of which York is the capital city of Yorkshire. Hence its listing.
York is also a walled city like London City so it has its own little by-laws
etc that are specific to it again warranting it being listed as it is...

As far as being out of date, I believe the counties were again re-mapped in
96/97  and 2000/01 too so when I looked at the list I posted it looked
pretty good to me in terms of county listings...

One question... Does Middlesex exist again? I know there is a cricket team
for middlesex but I thought the actual county disappeared about 20 years
ago?
