Does any English person actually understand this shit? Oh yeah this is a ceremonial county, this one's a metropolitan county, oh this one is a ceremonial county and a metropolitan county, but hold on its not a historic county. I mean, a single location seems to be in like at least 5 different locations. Some of them are tied in to some local government, some have seemingly no reason to exist at all?
Say what you will about the US, at least I know where I live. The US does have some confusing shit going on, but I've never experienced anything like this. Every time I try to understand how England works I get "oh yeah no one really understands how it works." There are like 5 different maps all overlapping each other. Does anybody know how this works?
Feel like I'm just staring at like 12 different maps of English divisions going "damn bitch you live like this?"
Its the "genital warts" of an old aristocratic empire.
