Bloody hell! I didn't realise it was quite that bad.
Is this just a complete failure of joined-up engineering,
or does someone have it in for Metropolitan Hertfordshire?

When was Enfield in Hertfordshire?

It still is, or to be more accurate, parts of the London Borough of
Enfield have postal addresses in which the (optional) postal county is
Hertfordshire. For example, Cockfosters Station, Cockfosters Road,
BARNET, Hertfordshire, EN4 0DZ.


And that's why postal counties are teh ghey.

That example address alludes to the county of Herts AND the borough of
Barnet AND the borough of Enfield. It's all over the place.

Officially I believe Enfield has only ever been in Middlesex and latterly
Greater London.
