From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are some interesting google hits. From these it seems there are two main areas where traditional counties have remained in use - these are the outer boroughs of Greater Manchester, and of Greater London. Obviously these statistics don't prove anything on an individual level, but they do act as an indicator of a general trend.
