And I fail to see how it helps anybody else, especially in and

Not all of Middlesex - Spelthorne was put into Surrey and the postal
counties never updated to that. But I agree it only adds to
confusion.

And the Potters Bar part of Middlesex was given to Hertfordshire
(which meant that the boundary between Barnet and Potters Bar went
from having Hertfordshire on the south side only to having
Hertfordshire on the north side only).

I wonder if any "Welcome to Hertfordshire" signs were removed from
their poles and refitted to the same poles facing the other way?

There were no such welcomes in those days!
