Chester FC's car park and office is in England, but the whole of the stadium is in Wales.

I suppose in itself this is an anarchist action, refusing to conform to feudal-monarchical bourgeois nation-formation and therefore provoking a never-ending derive amongst the committee rooms of the English and Welsh FAs. Confronting the oppressive hierarchies of football governance with a spritely jouissance. All whilst playing in National League North.
 
I don't recognise the border between Scotland and England.
If I saw it in an identity parade, I would not be abe to pick it out.
Noo Sark rins ower the Solway sands,
And Tweed rins tae the ocean,
To mark whar Gretna services stand,
Sic an overpriced petrol station.
 
The border cuts through the entrance to The Bradford Arms in Llanymynech.

It also used to cut directly through The Lion in the same town, with a bar in Wales and a bar in England (with, apparently, different license conditions) but The Lion closed.

It's recognisable by a huge sign next to the motorway that says "Welcome to Scotland" funnily enough whilst there presumably must also be a matching "Welcome to England" sign on the southbound, I can't remember ever noticing that.

I have only ever been to Scotland by train.
 
On the borders of Hertfordshire there are signs reading "Hertfordshire County of Opportunity."

[NB Hertfordshire is not to be confused with Herefordshire].
