That did cross my mind but that term seems to be used as a sensible way to cut down on unnecessary administration between different council areas that share access to the same hospitals, GP’s etc. Apart from NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, it’s not used in any official capacity I’m sure someone will be along in a minute to prove me wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islay has a PA postcode, as does most of the western isles. I believe many of the tribesmen who inhabited these islands fought hard to get the prestigious PA post code, an abbreviation also shared with the US state of Pennsylvania. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll have some laugh telling folk that live in Edzell and Montrose that they actually live in “Greater Dundee”. [emoji6] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
