Surely nothing to dispute - originally East Riding, then a period in the artifically created Humberside, now East Yorkshire, unless I'm much mistaken. Now for an are they or aren't they? - Middlesbrough. When my Great Grandad was born there, that was still Yorkshire (North Riding), then in I think about 1971 (long after he was dead, shortly after I was born), they shifted boundaries and created new counties, and Middlesbrough stopped being Yorkshire, although the cricket team still played there. So have we played Middlesbrough competitively?
Historic county borders have never changed. What changes all the time are the unitary authorities/tick box sluts that administer them. The confusion arises when people refer to their local administrative authority as the geographical location of where they live.
Don't say Greater Manchester, when you mean Lancashire - if you must say I'm from a borough of Manchester that used to be adminitered by the local authority of Greater Manchester which itself has been abolished and has always been in Lancashire.
Don't say Merseyside, when you mean Lancashire - if you must say I'm from a part of Liverpool that used to be adminitered by the local authority named mersyside and has always been in Lancashire - mind your car la?
Don't say Cumbria, when you mean Lancashire - Say I'm from Barra marra, technically we're part of Lancashire but nobody wants us.
