I know that England is different. However, I still think all of your England locations should be consistent with the same number of place markers (however many that is!). Honestly, I can't quite figure England and Ireland out :) :) michele Michele, Ah! The ideal - consistent English etc. place markers, If only! I'm afraid that over 2000 years of history does not lend itself to that treatment, I mean with the Romans, Vikings, Germans, French and uncle Tom Cobley an' all messing around with our place names, counties, wapentakes (under Danelaw), hundreds, parishes - ecclesiastic, parishes -civil, tythings, counties, rural districts, urban districts, metropolitan districts, boroughs, county boroughs, hamlets, towns, cities, and these are just some, just how are we expected to know where anything is, let alone a non-Brit. So, our system is rather like our Constitution - we don't have one.
