I was wondering if it would be useful to point out some confusion surrounding Havering, perhaps a small mention in the article would be appreciated. The confusion is about most of Havering having an Essex postal address but are a London Borough. The confusion is such that many inhabitants of Havering believe they are, in fact, a part of Essex. Some groups (such as the Third Way political party) wish Havering to withdraw from the Greater London Assembly and become part of Essex, leading to even further confusion. Even national television news could not make up their mind when there was a murder in Havering. They first reported the incident happening in Essex, then East London and then North East London. Perhaps this would be better as a discussion side-note but a mention in the article would be appreciated. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:81.7.9.20|81.7.9.20]] ([[User talk:81.7.9.20|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/81.7.9.20|contribs]]) 15:23, 26 June 2006.</small>

:Doesn't have an Essex postcode. It has a Romford post code, which is also in London.

The "E" Postcode is not just a London post code either, as it serves a part of 'official' Essex as well.

Confusion

I was wondering if it would be useful to point out some confusion surrounding Havering, perhaps a small mention in the article would be appreciated. The confusion is about most of Havering having an Essex postal address but are a London Borough. The confusion is such that many inhabitants of Havering believe they are, in fact, a part of Essex. Some groups (such as the Third Way political party) wish Havering to withdraw from the Greater London Assembly and become part of Essex, leading to even further confusion. Even national television news could not make up their mind when there was a murder in Havering. They first reported the incident happening in Essex, then East London and then North East London. Perhaps this would be better as a discussion side-note but a mention in the article would be appreciated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.7.9.20 (talkcontribs) 15:23, 26 June 2006.

Doesn't have an Essex postcode. It has a Romford post code, which is also in London.

The "E" Postcode is not just a London post code either, as it serves a part of 'official' Essex as well.
