Anyone know an online, free source of an MMO or GPX file that accurately shows the UK county borders please?

OpenStreetMap have a load of Welsh & English boundary gpx files. I can't import them directly into MM but GPS Babel turns them into usable mmo files.

Richard: On closer examination your 'GB Counties' seems a bit light! It lists only 30 counties (all in England) as against my rough estimate of about 125.

Even in England there about 64 counties.

There are of course all sorts of complex definitions about counties, boroughs, districts, etc, and I for one don't understand all the fine distinctions. But those I've listed after editing from various sources are IMO generally regarded as 'Counties' to most of us here in the UK. It's an MMO or GPX of those that I'm seeking.
