And thinking of some more examples, the county boundary runs through the centre of Chorleywood (Herts, and probably Bucks, from memory) and I've been to one town in the USA where the state boundary (between Georgia and Tennessee iirc) went through the middle (either along the fairly small river it straddled, or possibly relocated a quarter of a mile north on the Main Street). Now that's what I call a legislative nightmare! It is now inevitable that someone will mention Baarle-Hertog. tom -- Ideas are bulletproof. -- V |
