Great idea, Elizabeth, thank you!! JLB,
How do you handle it when you've got something like London, which I think is in more than one county? I've got some London, Middlesex County locations. I think part of Middlesex is outside of London. Also, as in the US, I imagine some Middlesex County locations have a London address even though they're outside the corporate limits of London.
