nice pants.
That's a bit misleading as Bristol is a "unitary authority" (as are a number of other places) not strictly a County
per se. For instance, in London the London Borough of Hillingdon is mostly in the ceremonial county of Middlesex, as is Enfield but they all fall under the purview of the London Assembly, before that the Greater London Council and before that the London County Council (despite the fact there has never been a County of London
per se). It's all down to successive governments messing about with the old traditional administrative structure of town council => county council => central government. The administrative boundaries have shifted, sometimes ignoring the traditional county boundaries.
The actual official structure of postal addresses in the UK, as dictated by the Post Office as was, is:
building name or number
THOROUGHFARE
dependent thoroughfare (where required)
locality (where required)
dependant locality (where required)
POSTTOWN POSTCODE
The county doesn't need to be written, although many people do out of tradition or habit. All the stuff in capitals is always there, the building name or number may or may not be required depending on the postcode, the dependent thoroughfare and locality are optional as they are implied by the postcode. Large users (e.g. the BBC) get their own postcode and POSTTOWN POSTCODE is all that's required to get to them.
So, the format of my official postal address is:
666 Cerebus' Road
LONDON E7 XXX
and that's enough to get stuff through my front door.
My bet is that tggzzz's somewhat out of town place is the kind that would get an official address that uses a locality like:
1 Short Street
Sleepy Hamlet
BRISTOL BS99 1AB
