Re: Electric clocks running slow warning
7 minutes does sound like a mistake, misunderstanding, or typo.
There is no generalised shortage of generating capacity in the UK at present.
Any short term problems caused by breakdowns should be easily recoverable by very slightly increasing the frequency afterwards.
Synchronous clocks are less used than in the past, but there still quite a few, and a loss of 7 minutes would be most noticeable.
