Subject: RE: Folklore: Do counties matter?
Some places they have "Ridings" as the next thing down from a county - Yorkshire (befor they reorganised it anyway), Tipperary, and I believe in Canada and New Zealand. ASnd teh other one is "Hundreds". But I don't think either division generates much in the way of particular loyalty.
I think the crucial thing is being associated with sporting contests.
