Looks like Wales' Postcard sub-categories need updating with the preserved counties:
Gwent
South Glamorgan
Mid Glamorgan
West Glamorgan
Dyfed
Powys
Gwynedd
Clwyd
Please - oh, please

Those are the new combined administrative county names - not the traditional county names which are generally used for postcard categories.
e.g. Powys combines 3 traditional counties - Montgomeryshire, Brecknockshire & Radnorshire. I use those traditional categories when listing; wouldn't dream of using Powys!
And many of the locals still use the old county names in their addresses.

Appreciate the comment, and yes, the traditional Counties certainly suit the older postcards.
However, the new Counties were created quite a while ago now under the 1972 Local Government act and so they are applicable to the modern postcard views and shouldn't be discounted in my opinion.
Apologies for this contentious issue for some!
