When I first used the Addresses module as a CCK Address, I noticed that the list of Provinces (Counties) started with 'Guernsey' and 'Jersey', which are part of the "Channel Islands" and *not* members of the "United Kingdom".

I then went on to notice that the County of "Berkshire" was missing.... Upon further investigation I discovered we no longer have a Political county/province called 'Berkshire'. However, that name still refers to an area of England as a "Ceremonial County" and people living in any of it's internal political regions would simple tell you that they live in, "Berkshire".

In my case, I have taken a more friendly list of Counties in the United Kingdom from http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Regions/Codes.html and replace my modules/addresses/countries/uk.inc file with the one I've attached here.

Title: United Kingdom Province List is not user friendly » United Kingdom Province List is not user friendly and contains non-UK Provinces

Same for the Location module (7.x-3.0-rc2). location.gb.inc lists the administrative authorities, not the ceremonial counties. People would rarely use the administrative authority for the postal address, they would use the ceremonial county, e.g.

Maidenhead, Berks.

not

Maidenhead, Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead

bgprior,

Is the list offered by Ovation1357 a good replacement of the current version?

Thank you.
