Is it Glemorgan or Gwent? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.45.237.154 (talk • contribs).

The county situation is complicated, as the system of local government has changed several times, but different organisations (and often the general public as well) retain the use of historic subdivisions no longer used administratively. Caerphilly is even more confusing because it lies on the boundary between traditional counties, and appears to have been west of the border originally, and then placed east of the border when a new system came in several decades ago. I've tried to clarify the situation, but I'm a little confused by it myself! Joe D (t) 14:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
