davidwalker2: Some government organisation may well have disposed of Middlesex in the 1960's, but no one told the Post Office, or at least they didn't acknowledge it. Round here our postal address still includes "Middlesex", normally truncated to "Middx."
AFAIK the Boat Race (and other races on the Thames) still pass around the Middlesex Bend (in this direction) before the Surrey Bend. Of course, the Surrey Bend is equally inappropriately named 'cos the Borough of Barnes (which sits squarely, or roundly if you prefer, in the middle) ain't in Surrey any more.
