Tea! Tea everywhere!

Maybe I am still very adolescent at the age of 50... But when I just started a new map and saw the town name I spat out my tea in laughter!

I would like to hear the story behind this town name

I always wondered what the English were thinking when they named one of their towns "Middlesex".

On the off chance you're not joking and actually want an answer, it's Saxon.  Essex = East saxons.  Wessex = west saxons.  Middlesex = middle saxons.  It's not a very entertaining answer, sadly.
