For those who live close to county borders, picking a shire can sometimes be a bit of a problem. While many border towns fall neatly into one or the other, some are a little more blurred.
Long Eaton is an interesting case. While the popular market town comes under Derbyshire authority, those living there have Nottingham postcodes and 0115 landlines.
And with Nottinghamshire towns and villages, including Stapleford, Toton and Attenborough on its border, it's easy to see why some could feel more aligned to the eastern county.
