London is OK. Other southern counties are the major problem with this country. What has the south of England contributed to the rest of the country? Spongeland would be more appropriate.
Humberside no longer exists. As for Yorkshire, it's a lot more complex than the ridings disappearing. I don't hear of Cumbrians crying over their lost counties. They did gain parts of north west Lancashire. When it comes to rugby league, they are happy to be Cumbrians. Then again, Westmorland was always union territory.
