Removing "England" from place names

Using FTM 2011 [20.0.0.368] - FTM insists on adding ", England" to resolved place names. I have set the option to "Exclude selected country from resolved place names - England" but still FTM insists on adding it to most (not all) names. If I attempt to edit the placename in the "Places" tab, then I seem to have a 50-50 chance of deleting the place altogether.

All suggestions (except for "convert to TMG") gratefully accepted.
