Oops, read that as countries! 3 countries. Also 3 counties prior to those 3 countries.

That’s ok, a few others have as well but counties or countries, interesting all the same 😀

City and county of Bristol
County of Avon
City and county of Bristol

(I didn't move house for these 3. Bristol was historically a county in its own right but between 1974 and 1996 the county of Avon existed, which took in parts of Gloucestershire and Somerset too. When it disbanded Bristol became a county again).

I currently live in Bath and North East Somerset (known as BANES).

Locsl landlines have the Bristol dialling code and we have BS (Bristol) postcodes. For some medical appointments I have to go into Bristol and for others it's a trip into Bath

I’ve lived in 6 countries (England, the US, Singapore, Japan, France and Australia), and 5 counties, and still have bases in 2 countries as well as 2 counties. But I need to simplify my life really…

MayorOfHuyton · 07/12/2024 22:14

Four or two depending on if you count the name changes or not

mondaytosunday · 07/12/2024 22:16

Three, but in three States in the US (New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts). Plus here London and Isle of Wight. Also Paris.

Yellowbananasarebetterthangreen · 07/12/2024 22:18

Six for me. And multiple moves within those six counties.
Im 😂at how many on this thread are trying to make out they've lived in "one more" if you count the name change!

maudelovesharold · 07/12/2024 22:18

3/4 London boroughs
East Sussex
Ayrshire
Wiltshire
West Sussex

imnotwhoyouthinkiam · 07/12/2024 22:19

One country.
One county.

One town.

Sounds like a bad tag line for something.

or a rip off of a speech by Hitler

Dandeliontea123 · 07/12/2024 22:19
  1. And NSW, Australia.
Dandeliontea123 · 07/12/2024 22:20

That should have said 7 counties + NSW, Australia!
