Yes, it's an older traditional map, but it is still relevent to today.
It's very confusing these days because many counties exist as a unitary authority although technically they still remain as their former county. E.G. I live in Rutland and we're shown on the map as a small county. We have a our own Local Authority and politically and financially we're seperated from Leicestershire (City of Leicester is now seperate to Leicestershire too). We have our own county borders etc. But we're technically part of Leicestershire still since we use their police/fire/medical services etc.

Many of the Scottish and Welsh counties have reverted back to how they were. Another anomoly is 'Huntingdonshire' which is part of Cambridgeshire. Humberside (formely East Yorkshire), West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire are simply 'Yorkshire' on this map too.
Hazed, if you're referring to the map I posted then you may have missed my follow up thread (above).
East Anglia is only a region, not a county.
Anyway, I posted to show where I live, which still exists, and besides this map would have been valid in WW2
