I also live in London, east of the River Lea (historical Essex). It certainly makes a difference for the purposes of athletics: my running club is the other side of the Lea and affiliated to Middlesex, but I am ineligible to compete in Middlesex County AA races. I suspect people participating in other sports at club level are affected by historic counties. I do not have any strong views on whether or not they should be included in OSM, but even now they are not entirely irrelevant. -- Robert Skedgell (rskedgell) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
