With regards to the reorganisation of local government on April 1, 1996, Cardiganshire was not restored for administrative purposes, but the area known to the English as Cardiganshire became Ceredigion. I have read the arguments about whether Cardiganshire exists or not on the Ceredigion entry of this site, as a life long local resident I can assure you that for all intents and purposes Cardiganshire does NOT exist, the only people who use the name are English people from outside the area. It is also worth noting that Ceredigion is not just the Welsh translation of Cardiganshire, that would be Sir Aberteifi. --Welshg60 11:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Read the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994. Cardiganshire was restored for administrative purposes, but the council renamed it Ceredigion on April 2, 1996. The idea that the only people who use the name Cardiganshire are English people is laughable, demonstrably wrong and quite insulting. Owain (talk) 11:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Surely to would be inappropriate to call it Ceredigion when speaking in English, just as it would to say Cardiganshire when speaking Welsh? Yorkshire Phoenix (talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
