The North* East Electric Supply Company which was known as NESCO was
40Hz. This company was quite a pioneer in running interconnected power plants. A lot of the expertise the company staff had built up was drawn upon when the Government of the day decided to construct the National Grid. *Originally Newcastle but they expanded fast.G.Harman

Not always. No Watford Gap service station - or even M1 - when I were a youth.

"Civilisation stops at Watford". Which direction you're travelling in when this happens depends on your prejudices. I always enjoy the sight of London disappearing in the rear view mirrors.

The last time I looked there was one on the Euston Road at Baker Str, and another a little further north at Swiss Cottage. And while I consider anywhere north of Euston Road aas 'here be monsters' territory, I would still reckon both as inside rather than just outside London.

And the Watford Gap, a topographic feature, is some miles north of the town of Watford.
The boundary that always make me concious of having finally escaped the gravitational pull of London is the cutting on the M40 after High Wycombe.
