The Villan, many of us in the US who posted here put the state we live in but not the county. I didn't notice the part where you asked for the county until after I posted. We've only got 50 states, but we have literally hundreds of counties. I live in Russell County in Alabama, USA.

Blimey what a mix. I am living in Market Rasen - my wife is 46 and Dutch, my daughters are 8 (she is Autistic) and 12. I am 58 born in Birmingham and yes a dad (my own efforts in case you might be wondering LOL) at 50, so I hold a proud record there. My parents are still alive and in a care home in Lincoln. All in all this prevents me from going out to see Folk music although I love it. Just too many other commitments.

I have to say that my wife and children love eating Kiwi's :-), but they don't like Folk music (such a shame)

Cleethorpes - that's our quick visit to the seaside job to keep the kids happy.

Gainsborough - my brother lives in Lea so I go to Gainsborough reasonably often.

As for Wales - they always get overlooked (Ah). The Gower Peninsula is one of my favourite areas.

Time to stop. Thanks for messages. :-)

I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The largest of the United States as well as the furthest north. We don't have counties in Alaska. Some of the state is divided into "boroughs" and there are some incorporated cities and towns, but most of the state is independent of local governments.

Alaska has more powerful earthquakes than California (and more often), more active volcanos than Hawaii, more lakes than Minnesota (over 3 million), and more coastline than all the rest of the United States put together. But we only have a bit more than 600,000 people living in the whole state. So there is room for anyone who wants to visit.

Camai,
Mike

It's interesting how quickly this thread moved away from the original question of "county & country." Instead, People needed to list their town or city and state or province.

I like the concept of counties. To me they are interesting divisions - often times they do have a different feel, both politically and geographically.

I was born in San Bernardino County, California. The largest county in square miles in the U.S.

I have lived in Delta County, Colorado on the sourthern edge of the Grand Mesa, Martin County, Florida with the Atlantic Ocean on the right and the Lake Okeechobee on the left, one of the U.S.'s few counties that can claim major bodies of water on either side.

I'm living in Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho, USA.

I grew up in Bonners Ferry, Boundary County, Idaho. It's on the Kootenai River, which is 50 miles or so from Kootenai County,

but I was born in Shelbina, Shelby County, Missouri, USA. Shelbina is close to Shelbyville, and I've always wondered who Shelby was.

Missourians used to be called Pukes, Indianians were Hoosiers and Oklahomans Sooners. And so on. I never heard what they call Idahoans, so I'm only a former Puke. I love names.

Indianers? Indianites?
