It used to be planned to be annexed into Seoul City proper, but the central government, rather wanting to foster satellite cities, didn't want to expand Seoul more, so it had to become an independent municipality despite the residents' hope to become proper Seoulites.

    The whole “I live in a different town than what my mailing address says” is an issue in the US too. I’ve found that most people default to saying what’s on their mail as being where they say they’re from…. unless it’s a very rural area. In those areas, the zip code town name is huge, and so you have to be more specific when saying where you live. If the made-up zip code name of Anywhere has an area of 50 miles, it’s more helpful to say you live in the little town of “But Here” within “Anywhere.”

      The suburban communities of Rochester, NY seem to be in a similar limbo. When I visited there, I found out that RIT bordered a place known as “Henrietta”, but then I found out that its postal address was still in Rochester. I then found an Outback Steakhouse in “Greece” (the community in Upstate NY, not the country), but it was again in Rochester according to its postal address. My question is whether the city of Rochester has ever had to do something like London did.

      The GEOGRAPHIC home counties - Middlesex, Berkshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey - still do exist, however, and encroach into the political area of Greater London. However, those run right up to the walls of the ancient City, and do not respect the political changes of 1889 and 1965. So Hounslow is in Middlesex geographically, but so is Westminster. Bexley is in Kent geographically, but so is Lewisham. And so on...
      Postal counties that show home counties in Greater London specifically outside of the cardinal inner-London post codes, however, were formally axed in 1996.

    The scream when she was faced with a problem she couldn't solve is the highlight of the whole video for me.
    Short but very sweet. Great entertainment. And educational, too. Teaches much about the epic British skill for "muddling through".

    My parents were born in Essex in the 50s, and then became Londoners in 1964. I grew up in the same part of East London, but I always thought of Ilford, Barking, Dagenham etc as being Essex (a childhood of addressing envelopes to relatives who lived in those areas!) I only realised they had been London all along a few years ago 😲
