Now for a silly point. County and Borough Boundaries do are not on the ground, and yet we still want them? Ok you might find the odd road sign, saying "Frinsbury Extra" or "Welcome to Kent" but I certainly have not worked out a good way of verify them all on the ground, yet. They all seam to come from some copyrighted source or another..... They also like Bus routes have this amazing trouble of moving. Yet we go to some real trouble to get them in the database......
