WCO is actually outside North Sector; today's Farnborough controllers would seem to be more 'rule bound' than I was.
If I felt I could continue giving service outside the boundary and there was no other radar unit to hand you to, I would 'bend' the rules and do so (same with East Sector and aircraft crossing to LFAT).
Further north, Cottesmore was the main unit I would hand traffic to but they were closed at weekends so East Midlands would happily accept it.
There's only one 'F' in Fulham
