Re: Electric clocks running slow warning
If National Grid paid the generators to push the frequency higher for long-enough to 'correct' the network's historic sloth, they'd just be creating a new problem of a minute [pun intended] number of geekish people complaining that the old clocks they'd set a month ago were now running several-minutes fast!
For the vast majority of UK residents - whose timing does not depend on mains-frequency - it's a total non-issue.
