Don't they? tell that to the entire world you live in then, Boarders are everywhere

Here's an example of how stupid what you're saying sounds to us...

Bedford Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, L4 (Liverpool)

Bedford Road, Bootle, Liverpool L20, (Sefton)

They're the same Road!! Notice both say Liverpool, is it still nonsense?

Manchester's the same.

Erm actually no it's Greater Manchester vs West Yorkshire. Bradford and Leeds could fit right into Manchester's urban area. Lol, they're smaller than I thought.

I'll happily tell that to all the New Jersey-New York commuters who live in a completely different state to the city they commute to.

I'll happily tell that to everyone in Greater London who commutes to the city that "if you live in Kensington, you don't live in London"

I'll happily tell that to everyone in Wolverhampton who commutes to Birmingham. I'm sure they'd know exactly where the border is.

I'll happily tell that to everyone on the Wirral, too. Because they live absolutely no where near Liverpool, do they?

Forget the postcodes,they're two different authorities, you're the one looking stupid, can't you grasp something that simple? One's not officially Liverpool and it's the same road.

Waheyy! We've finally cracked it.

Places in a city's metro are part of the city.

So really, because everywhere else is within 3 miles of the city of Manchester that make them places Manchester? not really whether or not they are all connected by urbanity doesn't make them the same place they are just conurbation at the end of the day.
