....but who in Southport would use Liverpool as part of their address?
Southport, Merseyside - yes, but not Southport, Liverpool

So Southport is City Region not Greater Liverpool?
Area city, 45 square miles (116 square km); Greater Manchester metropolitan county, 493 square miles (1,276 square km).

Merseyside is decades out of date, the administrative area is now Liverpool City Region so as Rochdale, Bury and Oldham etc would address something as Manchester we should address something as Southport, Liverpool.

No way! My house deeds state Lancashire, I live in a PR Postal code which is Lancashire and that is the address I use.

When the house was built it was in the County of Lancashire but that changed in 1974, PR indicates the main sorting office for the Post Office, Preston.

To add to that, people who live in parts of Scarisbrick as well as Rufford, Burscough, Ormskirk, Halsall etc who have an "L" postcode and who think it represents Lancashire are wrong.
It's for Liverpool, although such mail is now sorted in Warrington rather than the city itself.

So to be 'correct' then, an address in those places should be showing Liverpool instead of Lancashire as part of their postal address ?
