I was particularly pleased to see the 'Romford is/is not in Essex'
argument being brought up immediately in the comments.

Having been brought up in the vicinity, I'd say that all of those were
in Essex, as is [ObLRT:] Upminster and Epping.

This change will finally sort out a couple of villages in the south
Chilterns which are physically in Bucks, but with a Henley (Oxon)
address, and a Reading (Berks) Postcode!

"Physically"? All these boundaries are administrative for one purpose
or another. (Although for some reason people seem to think that past
administrative boundaries are "real" and current ones are not.)

The objections to the proposed change seem to come from people who
haven't cottoned on that their postal address is not meant to be a
description of where they live, but is a structured entry in a record
of delivery points. It can have whatever fields in it the owner of
the record wants to store.
