    Gwangmyeong is a suburban city, being southwest to Seoul City proper, of Greater Seoul (technically belonging to Gyeonggi Province) in South Korea, but not still part of Seoul proper. 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.

    What a pleasure it is to watch and listen to you.

    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.

      There is a zip code in my county that crosses the boarder into the next county. More confusingly, the zip code name is the same as the name of this other county. So people who live there have to give their address as being a county they don't live in.

      Some say that the mysterious CGP Grey will return one day and on that day he will provide and in depth pseudo-animated infographically educational electronic cinematic film short on the geopolitical subdivisons of a geopolitical subdivision located within a geopolitcal subdivision of a rocky celestial body called earth. All we know is... Hes called the STI- wait wrong show.

      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.

    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 😲

      My friend was born in 50s Essex and became a Londoner when she was 8. She doesn't think of herself as a Londoner (although she is).

    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".

    This is brilliant. We moved to Kingston 15 years ago and always wondered why, unlike Greater Manchester we don't use Greater London in our addresses or common vernacular. I tell family back home we live in Greater London but then they say we live in Surrey due to our postal address. Even people in London say, 'that's not London'. Trying to explain to people back home that we live in London is a tough one to get across. Great video!

      Most Greater Manchester residents do not use Greater Manchester on their addresses. Just like Greater London, a lot of folk are very proud of the historical counties and districts and will therefore put either Cheshire or Lancashire. The postcodes are also similar to London, as in they keep codes from (what were once satellite towns, like Oldham OL..., Bolton, BL..., Stockport, SK..., Wigan WN...) their original town, even though they are now in Greater Manchester. Very similar to London. Funnily enough the oft-stated city-in-its-own-right Salford uses a Manchester (M...) postcode! It is a bit messed up but nothing on the scale of London!
