Not living in a unitary authority I don't really mind, but it is the way I set up the Essex wiki pages (with the two unitary authorities listed along with the remaining districts). It is also the way I created the Wales country page once much of the UK page disappeared to England, listing all of the admin areas from the Local Government section of the Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wales as unitary authorities, although symbols in the above article distinguish between county, city and county borough types. I suspect those most likely to mind are those who live in an area and are proud of their independent status. I believe the post office stopped using counties in their official address database some years ago, so sending Council Tax bills and being ceremonial is about all they're good for these days (joking - in case any council workers are reading).
